About this worksheet

Every point on a coordinate grid has an ordered pair: the first number says how far across, the second how far up. On this fifth grade sheet two grids are printed with four labeled points each, and a child writes the ordered pair for each point, always across first and then up.

Reading the numbers off the axes carefully, and in the right order, is the skill that plotting and measuring on a grid depends on. Each version has a different grid, and the answer key gives all eight pairs.

What your child will learn

  • Read across first, then up
  • Write an ordered pair
  • Find a point from its axes
  • Keep the order of the numbers

Common Core standard: 5.G.A.1

Worked example

A point 3 across and 5 up is written (3, 5).

Common mistake

Writing the numbers in the wrong order, up first and then across.
