Read Points

Name a point, and tell which number goes first.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 81

Reading a point is plotting in reverse. Start at point A and look straight down to the x-axis. It's above the 6.
Then look straight across to the y-axis. It's level with the 3.
Write across first, then up. Point A is at 6 comma 3.
A point on an axis has a zero. A point on the x-axis hasn't gone up at all, like 5 comma 0.
