Moving Points in Space: Describing Locations on a Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial teaches how to move a point in space on a coordinate plane by counting movements along the x and y axes. It introduces cardinal directions and provides examples of how to describe locations using these directions. The lesson includes problem-solving exercises to reinforce understanding of moving from one point to another on a map, emphasizing the importance of starting from a given point rather than the origin. By the end, viewers will be able to determine new locations by counting units moved in specific directions.
