X and Y Coordinates

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a coordinate grid with labeled points, ranging from -5 to 5 on both the x-axis and y-axis, encompassing all four quadrants of the plane. Students are provided with a list of capital letters from A to I, and their task is to write the ordered pair that corresponds to each labeled point on the grid. Additionally, there is a section below the grid with a new set of ordered pairs from J to O, which students are required to plot on the grid. The worksheet is designed with a dual focus on both identifying the coordinates of given points and plotting points based on provided coordinates.

The worksheet’s aim is to teach students the skills of identifying and plotting ordered pairs on a full coordinate plane that includes negative values. It helps students understand that the x-coordinate indicates the horizontal position while the y-coordinate indicates the vertical position, whether they are positive or negative. This activity reinforces the students’ understanding of how to navigate all four quadrants of the coordinate plane, which is fundamental for graphing in mathematics. Engaging with this worksheet, students are able to practice the application of these concepts in a clear, visual manner.
