About Coordinate Quest
Every point on a grid has an address, its coordinates (x, y): go across first, then up. Coordinate Quest practices both directions: Plot it shows a pair of coordinates and asks children to tap that spot, and Read it shows a star and asks for its coordinates, with the classic mistake of swapping x and y among the choices.
Each round starts in the first quadrant and moves to all four quadrants, where negative x goes left and negative y goes down. Hints point out swapped numbers and sign mistakes.
Picture plot turns coordinates into art: tap the points in order and the lines draw a hidden house, rocket, star and a sailboat that sits across all four quadrants. It is the same idea computers use to place every pixel on a screen.
Best for ages 8+
