Aligned to Common Core State Standards

The worksheets generated here support the following Common Core math standards:

  • 2.MD.B.6: Show whole numbers as distances from 0 on an evenly marked number line, and show sums and differences up to 100 as jumps on it.
  • 3.MD.C.5a: Know that a square with 1-unit sides has an area of one square unit and can be used to measure area.
  • 3.MD.C.5b: Know that a flat shape exactly covered by some number of unit squares, with no spaces or overlapping, has that many square units of area.
  • 3.MD.C.6: Find an area by counting how many unit squares cover it, in square centimeters, meters, inches, feet or made-up units.
  • 5.OA.B.3: Make two number patterns from two rules, find how matching terms relate, form ordered pairs from them, and graph the pairs on a coordinate plane.
  • 5.G.A.1: Know a coordinate grid is two perpendicular number lines meeting at the origin, and an ordered pair gives the distance along each axis.
  • 5.G.A.2: Graph points in the first quadrant to show real and math problems, and explain what the coordinates of each point mean in the situation.
