Math: Describe the difference between the x and y coordinates. (Angela Socorso)**//REFLECTIONS: This was a very basic exit ticket assignment. The answer I wanted was that the x-coordinates are the numbers along the x-axis and the y-coordinates are the numbers along the y-axis. The coordinates help locate a position on a grid or map. It was interesting to see that some students answered that the coordinates were the horizontal and vertical axes. What I thought was a simple question wasn't. It presented a great discussion between the differences of a coordinate and an axis. I will need to make sure I stress this point in fuller detail next time.//**
