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.
