Coordinates

Describing a position on a grid using how far across and how far up — with an interactive exercise.

We describe a position on a grid using how far across and how far up.

Read a grid position as across first, then up. Starting from the corner (0), count the squares across, then the squares up.

Remember

  • Across first, then up.
  • A grid reference describes a position.
