Coordinate Plane 5th Grade

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane, while the y-axis is the vertical line.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

How do you graph the point (9, 3) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 9 units to the right on the x-axis, and then move 3 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the x-coordinate, indicating the horizontal position.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the y-coordinate, indicating the vertical position.

Front

How do you graph the point (10, 6) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 10 units to the right on the x-axis, and then move 6 units up on the y-axis.

Front

How do you graph the point (8, 7) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 8 units to the right on the x-axis, and then move 7 units up on the y-axis.

Front

How do you graph the point (2, 6) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 2 units to the right on the x-axis, and then move 6 units up on the y-axis.
