# Coordinate grid and LEDs
This lesson introduces the use of coordinates to store data or the results of mathematical operations. It gives students practice programming for the LEDs of the micro:bit screen using coordinates. And introduces the basic game blocks of MakeCode.

This lesson introduces the use of coordinates to store data or the results of mathematical operations. It gives students practice programming for the LEDs of the micro:bit screen using coordinates, and introduces the basic game blocks of MakeCode.
## Lesson objectives
Students will...
* Understand that the 5 x 5 grid of LEDs on the micro:bit represent a coordinate grid with the origin (0,0) in the top left corner.
* Understand that the 5 x 5 grid of LEDs on the micro:bit represents a coordinate grid with the origin (0,0) in the top left corner.
* Understand that the values of the x coordinates range from 0 through four and increase from left to right.
* Understand that the values of the y coordinates range from 0 through four and increase from top to bottom.
* Learn how to refer to an individual LED by its x & y coordinates.

* For this exercise, well use the two Yes/No built in icons to display the LEDs current status. From the Basic Toolbox drawer, drag 2 'show icon' blocks into each of the 'then' and 'else' clauses. Select the check mark for Yes, and the X icon for No.

Have students make their own sets of 5x5 grids to reinforce the layout of the micro:bit grid.
Each student should make two grids. One grid is for placing their own ships and keeping track of their opponents hits and misses and the other grid is for keeping track of their own hits and misses while trying to determine the location of their opponents ships.
