Key concepts
These are the key concepts grade 5 students learn.
Axes
X-Axis: The horizontal line.
Y-Axis: The vertical line.
Origin
The point where the x-axis and y-axis meet: (0, 0).
Quadrant I: Both x and y are positive (e.g., (3, 4)).
Quadrant II: x is negative, and y is positive (e.g., (-3, 4)).
Quadrant III: Both x and y are negative (e.g., (-3, -4)).
Quadrant IV: x is positive, and y is negative (e.g., (3, -4)).
Ordered pairs (x, y)
First Number: How far to move left or right (x-axis).
Second Number: How far to move up or down (y-axis).
Example: (5, 2) → Move 5 units right, then 2 units up.
Coordinate planes worksheets
In our grade 5 math section, we have several worksheets for students to practice coordinate grids.
Plot points on a coordinate grid
This first set of worksheets ask students to plot points in all four quadrants.
Practice reading the coordinates of points on a grid
Next, students read the coordinates of points in all four quadrants.
Understanding the quadrants of the coordinate plane
Students identify where the quadrants points fall into in these worksheets.
Translations on a coordinate plane
Next students work on translating and rotating simple shapes on a coordinate plane.
Learn to plot functions on the coordinate plane
Students are given functions and use that function to generate ordered pairs and to plot those points on a coordinate plane.
