Coordinate plane basics. Game on.

Coordinate plane basics is a grade 5 math skill aligned to Common Core standard 5.G.A.1: use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, and graph points in the plane. Below are 8 practice questions with answers and step-by-step explanations, drawn from the 77 coordinate plane basics problems our math games drill.

Warm-upeasy

In the ordered pair (3,5)(3, 5), what is the xx-coordinate?

The first number in an ordered pair is the xx-coordinate. In (3,5)(3, 5) the xx-coordinate is 3.3\textsf{.}

Mid-gameeasy

What are the coordinates of the origin?

The origin is where the axes meet, so its coordinates are (0,0).(0, 0)\textsf{.}

Mid-gameeasy

The xx-axis is ___.

The xx-axis is the horizontal number line on the coordinate plane.

Mid-gameeasy

What is the xx-coordinate of the point (1,4)?(1, 4)\textsf{?}

The first number in an ordered pair is the xx-coordinate. In (1,4)(1, 4) the xx-coordinate is 1.1\textsf{.}

Mid-gameeasy

The yy-axis is ___.

The yy-axis is the vertical number line on the coordinate plane.

Mid-gameeasy

What is the yy-coordinate of the point (2,3)?(2, 3)\textsf{?}

The second number in an ordered pair is the yy-coordinate. In (2,3)(2, 3) the yy-coordinate is 3.3\textsf{.}

Mid-gameeasy

In the ordered pair (4,7)(4, 7), what is the xx-coordinate?

The first number in an ordered pair is the xx-coordinate. In (4,7)(4, 7) the xx-coordinate is 4.4\textsf{.}

Buzzer beatereasy

The origin on the coordinate plane is at which point?
