Coordinate Plane 5th Grade

Florida - Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking: MA.6.GR.1.1
Extend previous understanding of the coordinate plane to plot rational number ordered pairs in all four quadrants and on both axes. Identify the x-or y-axis as the line of reflection when two ordered pairs have an opposite x-or y-coordinate.
Florida - Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking: MA.6.GR.1.2
Find distances between ordered pairs, limited to the same x-coordinate or the same y-coordinate, represented on the coordinate plane.

A two-dimensional coordinate system is defined by a pair of intersecting horizontal and vertical number lines referred to as axes.

On the horizontal axis, to the right of 0, the values are positive.
On the horizontal axis, to the left of 0, the values are negative.

On the vertical axis, above 0, the values are positive.
On the vertical axis, below 0, the values are negative.

What are the coordinates of point Q?

Each line represents a half unit.
Point Q is located by moving 2 and a half units to the right and 3 and a half units up.
The coordinates of point Q are (2.5, 3.5) or (

\frac{5}{2}

\frac{7}{2}

) or (

2 \frac{1}{2}

3 \frac{1}{2}
