Sommaire

This grade 5 coordinate plane worksheet for 5th Grade covers graphing on the coordinate plane (Common Core 5.G.A.1, 5.G.A.2), with a free PDF to print.

This worksheet has 20 problems on the coordinate plane (5.G.A.1 and 5.G.A.2). You will name and plot points in the first quadrant, find distances along grid lines, and read graphs of real situations.

The problems begin with ordered pairs and move to maps, tables and graphs with a scale. The last six are word problems. Always give the x-coordinate first and label axes with units.

Write the ordered pair for each point.

Four points on a coordinate plane.

Exercise 2 – Plot a point

Plot the point $G(3,5)$ on a coordinate plane. How many units do you move right, and how many up, from the origin?

Exercise 3 – Which number is the x-coordinate

Solve. In the ordered pair $(7,2)$, name the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate.

Exercise 4 – Point on the x-axis

Solve. Point P is on the x-axis, 5 units to the right of the origin. Write the ordered pair for P.

Exercise 5 – Point on the y-axis

Solve. Point Q is on the y-axis, 6 units above the origin. Write the ordered pair for Q.

Exercise 6 – Moving from a point

Solve. Start at $(2,3)$. Move 4 units right. Then move 2 units up. Where do you end?

Dollars	2	4	6	8

Exercise 18 – Treasure map

Solve. A treasure map starts at the origin. Diego walks 4 units right and 6 units up to the treasure chest. Then he walks 3 units up to a cave and 5 units right to a boat. Write the ordered pair for each place.

Exercise 19 – Walk to school

Solve. Diego’s house is at $(2,1)$ on a town grid. Mei’s house is at $(2,8)$ and the school is at $(5,8)$. Each unit is one block. How many blocks does Diego walk if he goes to Mei’s house first and then to school?

Exercise 20 – Saving money

Solve. Aisha saves $5 each week. After week 1 she has $5, after week 2 she has $10, and so on. (a) Write ordered pairs (week, dollars) for weeks 1 to 4. (b) Write the ordered pair for week 10. (c) In which week will she have $50?

Key facts behind this grade 5 coordinate plane worksheet

Key facts

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.
