In coordinate geometry, knowing how to plot points on the coordinate plane using coordinates is an important skill. The coordinate plane also referred to as the cartesian plane, is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a vertical line called the y-axis and a horizontal line called the x-axis.

See the fact file below for more information on the coordinate plane or alternatively, you can download our 26-page Coordinate Plane CCSS 5.G.1 worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment.

Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

  • At the end of the lesson, students will be able to understand how the coordinate plane works and how to plot different coordinates into the coordinate plane given a set of ordered pairs.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER

  • When plotting and getting points on the coordinate plane, take note of the following:
  • Always move horizontally then vertically or vice versa when plotting points.
  • Double-check to make sure the plotted points are correct; carelessness is a common mistake when it comes to plotting coordinates.
  • If confused, always refer to the origin point (0,0) for reference.

THEORY:

  • In coordinate geometry, knowing how to plot points on the coordinate plane using coordinates is an important skill. The coordinate plane also referred to as the cartesian plane, is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a vertical line called the y-axis and a horizontal line called the x-axis.
  • If you noticed in the warm-up video, the Cartesian plane is made up of four quadrants, but for this particular lesson, we will only be focusing on the first quadrant, where all the values are positive.
  • Points on the coordinate plane are referred to as coordinates, and these are made up of ordered pairs, which have the notation (x,y). The x-value refers to how many units you will have to move horizontally, while the y-value refers to how many units you will have to move vertically. The intersection of these two forms a unique coordinate.
  • In the Cartesian plane, the origin is the coordinate (0.0)
  • Take, for example, the ordered pair (3,6)
  • The x-value is given by 3, which means we have to move 3 units along the x-axis. Subsequently, since the y-value is given by 6, we will have to move 6 units along the y-axis.
