Grade 5 Coordinate Plane Practice Test

Build Grade 5 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests on ordered pairs, x- and y-coordinates, axes, plotting points, movement, distance, and coordinate-plane word problems.

Coordinate Plane Practice Tests

These Grade 5 Math practice tests help students read and use coordinates in the first quadrant. Students practice ordered pairs, x- and y-coordinates, axes, plotting points, moving points, measuring horizontal and vertical distances, and solving rectangle problems on a coordinate plane.

Skills covered

  • Reading and writing ordered pairs as (x, y)
  • Identifying x-coordinates and y-coordinates
  • Locating the origin and points on the axes
  • Moving points horizontally and vertically
  • Finding horizontal and vertical distances
  • Using coordinates to describe rectangles and word problems

How to use these practice tests

Read the first coordinate as the horizontal move and the second coordinate as the vertical move. Plot from the origin, compare x- or y-values as needed, and keep the coordinate order unchanged.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

A treasure is at (4,3)(4, 3). How many units right and up from the origin is it?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 4 units right and 3 units up.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The ordered pair (4, 3) means 4 horizontal units and 3 vertical units.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 4 units right and 3 units up.

The ordered pair (4, 3) means 4 horizontal units and 3 vertical units.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle has vertices (1,1)(1, 1), (5,1)(5, 1), (5,4)(5, 4), and (1,4)(1, 4). What is its horizontal width?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 4 units.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Subtract the x-coordinates of the vertical sides: 5 − 1 = 4 units.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 4 units.

Subtract the x-coordinates of the vertical sides: 5 − 1 = 4 units.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

For the same rectangle with vertices (1,1)(1, 1), (5,1)(5, 1), (5,4)(5, 4), and (1,4)(1, 4), what is its height?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 3 units.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Subtract the y-coordinates of the horizontal sides: 4 − 1 = 3 units.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 3 units.

Subtract the y-coordinates of the horizontal sides: 4 − 1 = 3 units.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the perimeter of that rectangle with width 4 units and height 3 units?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 14 units.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Perimeter is 2 × (width + height) = 2 × (4 + 3) = 14 units.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 14 units.

Perimeter is 2 × (width + height) = 2 × (4 + 3) = 14 units.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A store is at (2,6)(2, 6) and a library is at (6,6)(6, 6). What is the horizontal distance?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 4 units.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The y-coordinates match, so subtract x-values: 6 − 2 = 4 units.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 4 units.

The y-coordinates match, so subtract x-values: 6 − 2 = 4 units.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A house is at (3,2)(3, 2) and a park is at (3,7)(3, 7). What is the vertical distance?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 5 units.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The x-coordinates match, so subtract y-values: 7 − 2 = 5 units.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 5 units.

The x-coordinates match, so subtract y-values: 7 − 2 = 5 units.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A point at (2,4)(2, 4) moves 3 units right and 2 units up. Where does it land?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is (5,6)(5, 6).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Add 3 to x and 2 to y: (2 + 3, 4 + 2) = (5, 6).
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (5,6)(5, 6).

Add 3 to x and 2 to y: (2 + 3, 4 + 2) = (5, 6).

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which coordinate represents a point on the y-axis?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is (0,5)(0, 5).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: A point on the y-axis has x = 0, so (0, 5) is correct.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (0,5)(0, 5).

A point on the y-axis has x = 0, so (0, 5) is correct.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

A point is 7 units right and 2 units up from the origin. Which coordinate names it?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is (7,2)(7, 2).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Right gives x = 7 and up gives y = 2, so the coordinate is (7, 2).
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (7,2)(7, 2).

Right gives x = 7 and up gives y = 2, so the coordinate is (7, 2).

10. QuestionMultiple choice

Which expression finds the horizontal distance between x = 8 and x = 3?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 8−38 - 3.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Horizontal distance is the difference between the x-coordinates: 8 − 3 = 5.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 8−38 - 3.

Horizontal distance is the difference between the x-coordinates: 8 − 3 = 5.
