Decoding the Grid: walkthrough

Section role: supports the 'Decoding the Grid' section while the teacher formalizes the technical vocabulary discovered during the explorer challenge. Slides: (1) Title — 'Decoding the Grid'; (2) The Axes — bullets: defining the horizontal X-axis and vertical Y-axis using the crawling before climbing rule; (3) The Origin — bullets: locating (0,0) as the universal starting point; (4) The Ordered Pair — bullets: explaining the (x, y) format and how to read coordinates; (5) Visual Check — a sample coordinate point with a quick prompt for students to identify the correct pair. Closing slide: 'If I say 3 is the x-coordinate, which way do I move?' — hands control back to the teacher for individual assessment.
