5th Grade TEKS 5.8(A,B, C) Coordinate Grids and Ordered Pairs

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y), where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid, indicating how far to move left or right from the origin.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid, indicating how far to move up or down from the origin.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

How do you plot a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move horizontally to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the horizontal axis in a coordinate grid?

Back

The horizontal axis, also known as the x-axis, is the line that runs left to right on the coordinate grid, where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is the vertical axis in a coordinate grid?

Back

The vertical axis, also known as the y-axis, is the line that runs up and down on the coordinate grid, where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What does it mean for points to be equidistant from the origin?

Back

Points are equidistant from the origin if they are the same distance away from the origin, regardless of their direction.

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data points plotted on a coordinate grid, showing the relationship between two variables.
