About this worksheet

Suits Years 5 to 7

Both directions of coordinate fluency: plot the point (3, 5), and name the point already marked.

One convention rules the plane: the first number goes ACROSS, the second UP. Along the corridor, then up the stairs, as generations have chanted.

Common questions

How stubborn is the swapped-coordinates error?

Very, until the corridor-then-stairs chant moves in. (3, 5) and (5, 3) are different addresses, and plotting BOTH once, seeing them apart, makes the order feel necessary instead of arbitrary.

What lives at (0, 0)?

The origin, home base, where the axes cross. Points like (0, 4) sit ON the vertical axis, no steps across, four up, and those edge cases are worth a question each.
