In Coordinate Plane Worksheet, students practice identifying points in the coordinate system. A point in this system is defined by an ordered pair of positive numbers, e.g. (5,3) is point on the coordinate plane. In this grade, the work is limited to the first quadrant only (positive numbers) only. The worksheet includes problems on placing a point on the coordinate plane and identifying a point marked on the coordinate plane.

5.G.1Use 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).
