Grade 7 · Geometry
Cartesian Coordinates and Graphing
The Cartesian coordinate plane extends the number line in two dimensions. Students learn that any point can be located using an ordered pair (x, y). This framework connects algebra to geometry and opens doors to graphing equations and transformations.
