Skills Covered

Plot points as ordered pairs (x, y)
Read the x-axis and the y-axis
Start every point at the origin, (0, 0)

Draw shapes from their corner points
Graph number patterns as points
Extend to all four quadrants with negative numbers

How to Use This Pack

Five coordinate grid templates. Page 1 is one large first-quadrant grid numbered 0 to 10 on both axes, the size for a first lesson on ordered pairs. Page 2 runs 0 to 20 with a darker line every 5. Page 3 has four 0 to 10 grids, handy for four short tasks or four partners. Page 4 is a full coordinate plane from -10 to 10 in all four quadrants, and page 5 has four small four-quadrant grids from -6 to 6.

In the Classroom

On page 1, call out ordered pairs and have students plot and connect them to make a picture, or play coordinate battleship with two copies of page 3. Use page 2 to graph two number patterns from a table, such as add 2 and add 4, and compare the lines they make (5.OA.B.3).

At Home

Hide a treasure on a grid: one person picks a point and the other guesses ordered pairs, hearing "warmer" or "colder" until they find it.

Tips for Success

Go across the x-axis first, then up the y-axis: (across, up)
The origin (0, 0) is where the axes meet
Points sit where the lines cross, not inside the squares
In the four-quadrant grid, negative x is left and negative y is down

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.

Coordinate Grid Paper: First Quadrant and Four Quadrants

5th Grade

Five pages of printable coordinate grid paper: a large first-quadrant grid from 0 to 10, a first-quadrant grid from 0 to 20, four smaller 0 to 10 grids on one page, a four-quadrant coordinate plane from -10 to 10, and four small four-quadrant grids from -6 to 6. Every grid has numbered x and y axes with arrows, ready for plotting points, drawing shapes and graphing patterns.
