Plot Point

Tap the exact spot on a coordinate grid for each (x, y) pair. Learn positive and negative coordinates by racing the clock.

How to play

  1. Read the coordinate pair shown at the top, such as (3, -2).
  2. Tap the matching point on the grid. The first number is across, the second is up or down.
  3. A right tap adds 1.5 seconds. A wrong tap costs 3 seconds.
  4. The first few points are in the top right corner. After that all four quadrants are used.

Tips and strategy

  • Always move along x first, then along y. Think of walking to the door, then up the stairs.
  • Negative x is to the left of the middle line. Negative y is below it.
  • The thicker middle lines are the axes where one coordinate is zero.
  • Chain right answers to raise the points per tap.

FAQ

How big is the grid?
It runs from -5 to 5 on both axes, so there are 121 points in all.
Why does a wrong tap flash red?
The red flash marks the cell you tapped, so you can see how far off it was.
Does the same point come up twice in a row?
No. The next point is always different from the last one.
