Grade 5 · Common Core State Standards: 5.G.A.1, 5.G.A.2

Question 1
What are the coordinates of point M?
012345678012345678xyM
A coordinate plane.
Question 2
What is the x-coordinate of the point \((8,3)\)?
Question 3
Which ordered pair names point N?
012345678012345678xyN
A coordinate plane.
Question 4
Start at \((3,2)\) and move 5 units up. Where do you end?
Question 5
What is the distance between \((2,3)\) and \((2,10)\)?
Question 6
The graph shows money earned from hours worked. If the pattern continues, how much is earned in 4 hours?
01234503691215HoursDollarsABC
Dollars earned after each hour.
Question 7
Which point is on the x-axis?
Question 8
Which ordered pair is 2 units right and 6 units up from the origin?
Question 9
How many blocks is it from the school to the bus stop?
012345678012345678xySchoolBus stop
A coordinate plane.
Question 10
Which statement about \((5,1)\) and \((1,5)\) is true?

Remember
  • The x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical; they meet at the origin (0, 0).
  • An ordered pair (x, y) gives the move right first, then up.
  • (2, 5) and (5, 2) are two different points.
  • Points with the same x-coordinate or the same y-coordinate lie on a straight line, so subtract to find the distance.
  • Axis labels explain what each coordinate means in a real-world graph.
