How to solve Grade 5 coordinate plane problems
Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.
Example 1
Plot (8, 4). Which letter marks that spot?
- Start at the origin, (0, 0), where the two axes meet.
- The first number, x, is 8: move 8 units to the right along the x-axis.
- The second number, y, is 4: move 4 units up.
- Careful: point B is at (4, 8) — the numbers swapped (right 4, up 8).
- You land on point A, so (8, 4) is point A.
Answer: A
Example 2
What are the coordinates of the point on the grid? (x, y)
- Start at the origin, (0, 0), where the x-axis and y-axis cross.
- Count across along the x-axis: the point is 7 units to the right, so x = 7.
- Now count up: the point is 9 units up, so y = 9.
- Write x first, then y: the point is (7, 9).
Answer: (7, 9)
Example 3
What are the coordinates of the point on the grid? (x, y)
- Start at the origin, (0, 0), where the x-axis and y-axis cross.
- Count across along the x-axis: the point is 1 unit to the right, so x = 1.
- Now count up: the point is 8 units up, so y = 8.
- Write x first, then y: the point is (1, 8).
Answer: (1, 8)
