About this worksheet

A coordinate plane is a grid with two number lines that cross at zero, the origin. An ordered pair names a point: the first number says how far to go right along the x-axis, and the second says how far to go up. The point (4, 3) is 4 right and 3 up.

On this fifth grade sheet a child gets three blank grids, plots the four points named under each one with a dot and writes its letter beside the dot. Each version has different points, and the answer key shows every dot.

What your child will learn

  • Start at the origin (0, 0)
  • Go right for the first number
  • Go up for the second number
  • Plot and label a point

Common Core standard: 5.G.A.1

Worked example

To plot (4, 3), start at (0, 0), go 4 right and 3 up, make a dot and write its letter.

Common mistake

Going up first, so (4, 3) is plotted at (3, 4).

Helpful hint

The first number is how far right and the second number is how far up.
