MAP Prep

Tool training is an independent warm-up for using the on-screen tools. It is not a test, not an official assessment, and not affiliated with any assessment provider. Nothing here is scored and no results are recorded.

Coordinate grid — training

Practise using this tool. This warm-up is not scored and is not part of any test.

What this tool does

Plot a point using an x value and a y value.

This is a tool warm-up, not a test. It shows you how the tool works — there is no score and nothing here counts toward your mastery.

What you'll learn

Read the axes and plot an ordered pair.

How to use it

  1. The x-axis runs across; the y-axis runs up. They meet at the origin (0, 0).
  2. Set x first, then y, to place the point.
  3. Arrow keys nudge the point; the coordinates are announced.

Set x and y with buttons or arrow keys; the point's coordinates are announced.

Try it yourself

  1. Set x to 2.
  2. On your own: Now set y to 1 so the point is at (2, 1).

Now: Set x to 2.

Set x to 2 and y to 1.
