5th Grade Graphing on the Coordinate Plane Test with Point Values (PDF)
This grade 5 coordinate plane test 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 45-minute test covers ordered pairs, plotting in the first quadrant, distances along grid lines, and real-world graphs (5.G.A.1 and 5.G.A.2). There are 8 questions worth 20 points. Write the x-coordinate first.

Grade 5 coordinate plane test: questions
Question 1 – Name the points [3 pts]
Write the ordered pair for each point.
Question 2 – Complete the rectangle [2 pts]
Solve. Points \(A(2,4)\), \(B(6,4)\) and \(C(6,7)\) are three vertices of a rectangle. Plot the points on the grid. Find the ordered pair for the fourth vertex, D, and find the area of the rectangle.
Question 3 – Distances on grid lines [2 pts]
Answer each part.
- Find the distance between \((0,5)\) and \((9,5)\). (1 point)
- Find the distance between \((4,2)\) and \((4,8)\). (1 point)
Question 4 – Points on the axes [3 pts]
Look at the points \((3,0)\), \((0,3)\) and \((3,3)\).
- Which point is on the x-axis? (1 point)
- Which point is on the y-axis? (1 point)
- Write the ordered pair for the origin. (1 point)
Question 5 – Moves on the grid [2 pts]
Solve. Maya starts at \((1,1)\). She moves 5 units right, then 3 units up, then 2 units left. What ordered pair does she end at?
Question 6 – Bike ride graph [3 pts]
Solve. The graph shows how far Liam rides his bike.
- What does the point \((2,20)\) mean? (1 point)
- How many miles has Liam ridden after 3 hours? (1 point)
- If he keeps the same pattern, how many hours will it take to ride 60 miles? (1 point)
Question 7 – Table to ordered pairs [2 pts]
Solve. A bag holds 5 apples. Write ordered pairs (bags, apples) for 1, 2, 3 and 4 bags. Then write the ordered pair for 6 bags.
Question 8 – Walking in town [3 pts]
Solve. On a town map the park is at \((3,2)\), the library is at \((3,8)\) and the pool is at \((7,8)\). Each unit is one block.
- How far is the park from the library? (1 point)
- How far is the library from the pool? (1 point)
- How far is the walk from the park to the library to the pool? (1 point)
Key facts behind this grade 5 coordinate plane test
- 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.
How to use this grade 5 coordinate plane test
Time yourself: the test is designed for an average student in 45 minutes. Answer the questions you are sure of first, then come back to the longer ones and check your units.
