About this worksheet

Plotting ratio pairs on a grid. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

I can turn a row of a ratio table into a point and read a point off a grid: first column across, second column up, unless the graph's labels say otherwise.
I can find the next point on a ratio graph by multiplying both numbers in the row.
I can say what each number in a point means, like "6 cups of flour and 9 cups of milk".

Standard: 6.RP.A.3a

Words to know

point: A spot on a grid, written as two numbers like (6, 9).

across and up: The first number says how far across, the second says how far up.

ordered pair: Two numbers in a fixed order, like (6, 9). Swapping them gives a different point.

axis: One of the two number lines of the grid: across along the bottom, up along the side.

label: The name on an axis. It tells which quantity goes across and which goes up.

Common mistakes

Your child wrote the two numbers of the point in the wrong order. Say “across first, then up” together and trace a point on graph paper.

Your child multiplied only one number in the row.

Your child moved the same distance across and up instead of keeping the ratio.

What to say

Ask: if you make twice as much of everything, what happens to both amounts?

Ask: if 2 cups go with 3 cups, what happens to both when we make 4 times as much?
