More About axis

Long ago, people used sticks to draw. They made lines to show things. This is how the axis was born. It helped them see where things were.

Today, we use axes in math and maps. They help us know where to go. We can see how tall a tree is or how far a place is.

In the future, we will use axes more. They help us learn and grow. We can make new maps and graphs with them!
