Suitable for Grades: 5th Grade
CCSS: 5.G.A.1, 5.G.A.2
CCSS Description: Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
CCSS Description: Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
Learners will match coordinates on a grid to their written form and plot coordinates in the first quadrant throughout this worksheet.
In section A, students will connect points in a given order by matching coordinate pairs to their position on a coordinate grid. There are three to do and all form a polygon when complete. In section B, students will plot and label nine coordinates in the first quadrant.
