Coordinate Practice - Learning from Mistakes

Ever struggled with plotting co-ordinates?  (x, y) 

On printed maps they use LETTERS with numbers help people locate things. 
What can you find in F6?




In maths, science, Google maps [what is found at location (8.0502489, 98.3523413)] and other subjects that use graphs like humanities, you can't use the same system of letters and numbers. There are always two numbers and you must remember the order. That's the reason coordinates are also called ordered pairs, because the order is important.  (3, 7) is not the same position as (7, 3).

There's "through the door and up the stairs" to help or play these two games and learn by making mistakes. 


Try Billy the Bug and the Whack a Mole game
Billy only has positive numbers.
