Let's review how to use a coordinate plane to describe a position.

Here is a coordinate plane.

What object has coordinates $\left(6,2\right)$(6,2)?
Dog
A
Apple
B
Star
C
Bike
D
Write the coordinates of the rabbit.

Let's see how to interpret coordinate grid references to locate an object on a map, and also how to write coordinate grid references to describe a position. We look at a map of Tokyo, a city in Asia.

Question

What are the grid coordinates for $Windrip$ ?

$D4$
A
$B6$
B
$G2$
C

Remember!

The coordinate grid reference tells us how to find things on a map, or how to describe a location on a map. We always start with the letter, then the number. The scale on a map tells us how far something is in real life, and can be different on different maps.

Outcomes

5.G.A.2

Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
