Mathematics
This free printable Grade 6 mathematics worksheet gives students 13 multiple-choice questions on area and polygons in coordinate planes. Students identify polygons by their number of sides and vertices, complete a rectangle from coordinate points, find horizontal and vertical distances between ordered pairs, and determine side lengths and perimeter from rectangle coordinates. The worksheet also practises reflecting points over the x- and y-axes, comparing absolute values, and finding the area of coordinate-plane figures, including a real-world tree-house design. It is designed for students who are building accuracy with coordinate geometry and connecting plotted points to measurement formulas. A complete answer key is included for efficient review, independent practice, or assessment.

This Grade 6 worksheet uses 13 multiple-choice questions to practise identifying polygons, completing rectangles from ordered pairs, finding coordinate distances, calculating rectangle side lengths and perimeter, reflecting points over the axes, comparing absolute values, and finding area. Students apply coordinate information to geometric measurements, including the area of a tree-house floor plotted on a coordinate plane.
Introduce the worksheet by having students plot or inspect the given ordered pairs and describe how horizontal and vertical changes represent side lengths. Then use the rectangle and tree-house items to connect coordinate differences to perimeter and area, and discuss how reflecting over the x-axis or y-axis changes one coordinate. Finish with the multiple-choice questions as guided practice, partner review, or independent work.
Students may calculate distance by adding coordinates with the wrong signs, especially when points share an x- or y-coordinate but lie on opposite sides of zero. Watch for confusing which coordinate changes during a reflection, choosing a polygon name from its appearance rather than its number of sides, and using a rectangle’s side length instead of multiplying length by width for area. Students may also forget that perimeter requires adding all four sides.
This worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for the 13 multiple-choice questions. Printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The PDF option can also support schools that want to reduce screen time.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the coordinate-plane questions, ordered pairs, and answer choices are easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those options better support access to the polygon, reflection, distance, perimeter, and area items.
