Grade 5 Module 6 Topic A flashcard

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

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

Front

What is the origin on a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

How do you read coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are read as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position on a coordinate grid.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position on a coordinate grid.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A if it is located at (3, 4)?

Back

Point A is located at (3, 4).

Front

What are the coordinates of point B if it is located at (4, 2)?

Back

Point B is located at (4, 2).

Front

How do you plot a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0, 0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move up or down to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional space defined by a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is used to locate points, graph equations, and visualize relationships between numbers.
