Coordinate Grid: Plot and Read Ordered Pairs
Print 5th grade coordinate grid worksheets: read and plot ordered pairs, find distances, and graph patterns. 12 versions, each with an answer key.
Worksheet version 1 of 12. The answer key matches the current version.
An ordered pair (x, y) tells you where a point is. Start at the origin (0, 0), go across the x-axis first, then go up the y-axis.
1. Write the ordered pair (x, y) for each point.
A (___, ___) B (___, ___) C (___, ___)
2. Plot and label each point: D (4, 6), E (2, 5), F (8, 2).
Go across the x-axis first, then up.
3. Start at the origin (0, 0). Move 5 units along the x-axis, then 4 units up. Plot point G and write its ordered pair.
G (___, ___)
4. Write the ordered pairs for P and Q. How many units apart are they?
P (___, ___) Q (___, ___) ___ units apart
5. Map key: L = library, P = park, S = school, H = home. Which place is at (9, 8)? What is the ordered pair for the school?
Place: __________ Ordered pair: (___, ___)
6. Plot the points from the table: x = 1, 2, 3 and y = 2, 3, 4. Continue the pattern. What is y when x = 5? Plot that point too.
When x = 5, y = ___
About this worksheet
The coordinate grid has two number lines that meet at the origin, (0, 0). The horizontal one is the x-axis and the vertical one is the y-axis. In an ordered pair such as (3, 5), the first number says how far to go across and the second says how far to go up. (3, 5) and (5, 3) are different points, so every point on these sheets has different x and y numbers.
Each version has six problems: read three points, plot three points, follow moves from the origin, find the distance between two points on the same line, read a map grid, and graph a number pattern from a table. Print a student sheet, then choose “Show answer key” to print the matching key with every point plotted.
