Coordinates are numbers which determine the position of a point or a shape in a particular space (a map or a graph).

In primary school children are taught Cartesian coordinates, which they are introduced to in Year 4. Points are marked by how far along they are on the x axis (the horizontal axis) and how far up they are on the y axis (the vertical axis).
