Grade 5 Coordinates

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a grid or plane, usually represented as (x, y).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The first number in a coordinate pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the grid.

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The second number in a coordinate pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the grid.

Front

How do you identify a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To identify a point, you start at the origin (0, 0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A if it is located 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinates of point A are (3, 2).

Front

What are the coordinates of point B if it is located 4 units left and 1 unit down from the origin?

Back

The coordinates of point B are (-4, -1).

Front

What is the coordinate of point C if it is located at (0, 5)?

Back

Point C is located on the y-axis, 5 units above the origin.

Front

What is the coordinate of point D if it is located at (5, 0)?

Back

Point D is located on the x-axis, 5 units to the right of the origin.

Front

How do you plot the point (2, 3) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 2 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 3 units up (y-axis) to plot the point.
