About this worksheet

An ordered pair gives the x-coordinate first (left or right from the origin), then the y-coordinate (up or down). "Along the corridor, then up the stairs" is the memory hook most teachers use.

Teaching tip

Use the first-quadrant grid until students never swap x and y, then move to four quadrants.
