Graphing Patterns on a Coordinate Grid (Khan Academy)
- plot points on a coordinate grid
- determine the coordinates of a given point
- tell how to get from one location on the grid to another using general terms (up, down, left, right) AND cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) when given a compass rose
- use a coordinate grid to solve a problem
- use an equation and/or a table to determine coordinates

PLOTTING POINTS
Here is an example from Learnzillion on how to plot a point using x and y coordinates in the first quadrant. In this quadrant, all numbers are positive. The x-coordinate determines how far to move to the right and ALWAYS comes first The y-coordinate determines how far to move up and ALWAYS comes second. |
Although 5th graders are NOT expected to graph negative numbers, many are ready. Here is a foldable (source) that explains how. |
