Features

  • Forms A and B ask the same questions with different numbers
  • Read ordered pairs on a coordinate grid, and tell which axis a point is on
  • Plot points from their ordered pairs and from how far to go along each axis
  • Plot and join points, and find side lengths along grid lines
  • Read a map and tell what each coordinate means
  • Make two patterns from two rules, compare their terms, and graph the pairs of two patterns
  • The last four questions (input-output rules as expressions, adding or multiplying to get y from x, patterns with decimals and fractions) are for the states that teach them in 5th grade
  • Answer keys name the lesson and skill of every question

Skills Covered

  • Plot points from ordered pairs
  • Join points and find lengths along a grid line
  • Points on a map and what they mean
  • Two patterns from two rules
  • Graph the pairs of two patterns
  • Input-output rules as expressions
  • Adding or multiplying patterns
  • Patterns with fractions and decimals

How to Use This Pack

The unit test for the fourteenth unit of 5th grade, the coordinate plane and patterns. Pages 1 and 2 are Form A. Pages 3 and 4 are Form B: the same questions in the same order with different numbers, for a retake, a make-up or a second seating. Each form has 10 questions, one point each, and a Score line on its first page. Questions 1 to 6 are the Common Core part of the unit; questions 7 to 10 (input-output rules, adding or multiplying, patterns with decimals and fractions) are for the states that teach them in this unit.

In the Classroom

Give Form A the day after the unit review. Have sharp pencils ready for plotting. Most questions hold more than one part, such as three points to read or plot, or a table to fill in and a rule to write: give the point when all are right, or score them by the part if you like. Where a rule can be written more than one way, the key shows one way and says so. Leave out questions 7 to 10 if your class does not learn them and score out of 6. No question asks a problem from the unit's exit tickets or the practice sheets. The answer keys name each question's skill, so a missed question points to the lesson to reteach.

At Home

Use Form B as a check after the unit. Ask your child to say how to plot a point aloud, across first and then up, and to say the rule of a table before writing it.

Tips for Success

  • Say "across, then up" for every ordered pair
  • Count the units between points along a grid line, not the dots
  • Compare the terms in each column of a pattern table
  • Test a rule on every pair of a table before using it
  • Use Form B as a retake after reteaching what was missed

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 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.

5th Grade Coordinate Plane and Patterns Test

5th Grade

The unit test on the coordinate plane and number patterns in two forms, from reading ordered pairs to graphing the pairs of two patterns. Students read and plot points, find lengths along grid lines, read a map, make two patterns from two rules and graph their pairs.
