Can You Plot Points? A Quick Quiz for Grade 5

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🧭 The coordinate plane is formed by two number lines: the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis.
• 📍 Points are located using ordered pairs $(x, y)$, where $x$ represents the horizontal distance from the origin (0, 0) and $y$ represents the vertical distance from the origin.
• ➡️ Positive $x$ values are to the right of the origin, and negative $x$ values are to the left.
• ⬆️ Positive $y$ values are above the origin, and negative $y$ values are below.
• 📝 To plot a point, start at the origin, move horizontally according to the $x$-coordinate, and then move vertically according to the $y$-coordinate.
• 🧮 For example, to plot the point (3, -2), start at the origin, move 3 units to the right, and then 2 units down.
