Kids Learning → Geometry for Kids → Coordinates → What is Coordinates

Overview

Coordinates are a way to find exact locations on a map or a grid. They use two numbers, called x and y, to show where something is. The first number tells us how far to go sideways, and the second number tells us how far to go up or down. Learning about coordinates helps us understand maps, graphs, and even video games better!
