This 5th grade numerical patterns quiz covers patterns and ordered pairs (Common Core 5.OA.B.3), with a free PDF to print.

Key takeaway: This quiz helps fifth grade students quickly check how well they can work with two patterns, ordered pairs, and graphs.

  • Topic: Patterns and Ordered Pairs (5th grade)
  • Content: 10 multiple-choice questions with instant explanations
  • Standards: 5.OA.B.3
  • Answers: Explanations included
  • Format: Free printable PDF, US Letter, black and white

This quiz helps fifth grade students quickly check how well they can work with two patterns, ordered pairs, and graphs. Also, it has 10 multiple choice questions, and the wrong choices come from real mistakes, such as pairing terms from different positions.

The questions cover the next term, the pair for a given term, how terms compare, reading a point, finding a rule, a missing pair, a graph, a miles story, a table statement, and which pair does not belong. Then, plan about 10 minutes. Then read each explanation to see why the wrong choices tempt students.

Answer these 10 multiple-choice questions on number patterns, corresponding terms and ordered pairs. Pick the one best answer. Some questions show a graph or a table. Read the explanation after each question to learn from any mistake.

5th grade numerical patterns quiz: 10 questions

Question 1
Start at 0 and add 6. What number comes next? \(0, 6, 12, 18, ?\)

0+66+612+618+6?
Add 6 each time.

Question 2
Pattern A starts at 0 and adds 3. Pattern B starts at 0 and adds 6. What is the ordered pair when A is 9?

Question 3
Pattern A adds 4 and pattern B adds 12, both starting at 0. How do the B terms compare with the A terms?

Question 4
Which ordered pair does point P show?

0123456012345678xyP
Point P.

Question 5 and after

Question 5
These ordered pairs come from two patterns that start at 0: (0, 0), (3, 12), (6, 24), (9, 36). What is the rule for the second numbers?

Question 6
These pairs come from two patterns: \((0, 0), (2, 8), (4, 16), (6, ?)\). Find the missing number.

Question 7
Which rules match the graph?

012345601234xy
Four points.

Question 8
Maya rides 5 miles each hour. Hours: 0, 1, 2, 3, … Miles: 0, 5, 10, 15, … How many miles does she ride in 6 hours?

Question 9 and after

Question 9
Look at the table. Which statement is true?

Priya051015Diego0102030
Savings.

Question 10
Pattern A starts at 0 and adds 2. Pattern B starts at 0 and adds 6. Which ordered pair is NOT from the patterns?

Remember

Remember
  • Each number in a pattern is called a term.
  • Corresponding terms are the terms in the same position in two patterns.
  • In an ordered pair (x, y), x tells how far right and y tells how far up.
  • Then, if one pattern adds twice as much as the other, its terms are twice as large.
  • Points from patterns that add the same amount each time lie on a straight line.

Common mistakes with this 5th grade numerical patterns quiz

  • Students pair a term with the wrong position. Instead, pair terms in the same position. Slow down at that step and check it twice.
  • Students describe a relationship with add when it is multiply. Also, check the ratio on each pair. Slow down at that step and check it twice.
  • Students read a point as (y, x). The first number is the move right. Slow down at that step and check it twice.
  • Students pick a pair that satisfies only one rule. Instead, a pair must satisfy both. Slow down at that step and check it twice.

Tips to get a high score

  • Write the position above each term. Finally, it keeps pairs correct. Repeat this habit on every problem for the best results.
  • Check each choice against both rules. Also, a choice must satisfy both patterns. Repeat this habit on every problem for the best results.
  • Teachers can use the table question as a quick class discussion on relationships. Repeat this habit on every problem for the best results.

5th grade numerical patterns quiz: frequently asked questions

How do you read a point on a graph as an ordered pair?

Move along the x-axis to find the first number, then up to find the second. So, a point three spaces right and four up is (3, 4). The first number comes first. A quick check like this takes only a few seconds and prevents most errors.

How do you find a missing term in a pair of patterns?

Use the rule that relates the two patterns. If the second terms are always 4 times the first, a pair with first term 5 has second term 20. Check against the other pairs. A quick check like this takes only a few seconds and prevents most errors.

What does a good score on this quiz mean?

Eight or more out of 10 shows that you can work with two patterns and ordered pairs. A lower score suggests more practice with tables. Try the quiz again after a day. A quick check like this takes only a few seconds and prevents most errors.
