Remember: Coordinates are written as (x, y). The x-coordinate tells you how far across to go, and the y-coordinate tells you how far up to go.

Part 1: Read the Coordinates

Write the coordinates for each point marked on the grid below.

0 1 2 3 4 5 0 1 2 3 4 5 A B C D E
A: ( ____ , ____ )
B: ( ____ , ____ )
C: ( ____ , ____ )
D: ( ____ , ____ )
E: ( ____ , ____ )

Part 2: Plot the Coordinates

Plot and label the following points on the grid below.

0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 4

F: (1, 3)

G: (3, 1)

H: (2, 2)

I: (4, 3)

J: (0, 4)

Part 3: Questions

1. In the coordinate (5, 2), which number tells you how far across to go? __________

2. In the coordinate (3, 7), which number tells you how far up to go? __________

3. What are the coordinates of the origin (starting point)? ( ____ , ____ )
