First Quadrant Coordinates Online Quiz

Coordinate worksheets, coordinate help.

coordinates grid example

All coordinates consist of two numbers separated with a comma and usually within parentheses.

The first number is the horizontal coordinate, or the number along the x axis.

The second number is the vertical coordinate, or the number up the y axis.

So the coordinate (3,1) means 3 along and 1 up.

Often children get their coordinates the wrong way round and go up first and then along, ending up with the coordinate (1,3).

An easy way to remember the correct way is...

'x is a cross so the x coordinate always goes across.'

We can also say that...

'x always comes before y, so the x coordinate is always first.'

This means that...

  • the first coordinate, the x coordinate, is the amount you go 'across';
  • the second coordinate, the y coordinate, is the amount you go 'up' (or 'down' if it is a negative number).

These sheets involve using coordinates with letters along the bottom horizontal row and numbers going up on the vertical.

They are a good way of introducing coordinates because they are easier to understand and use. They also help to teach the convention of reading the horizontal coordinate first, then the vertical one.

Our alphanumeric coordinates all currently involve themed worksheets based around Christmas, Easter and Halloween.

The worksheets all involve coloring each coordinate a particular color to make a themed picture.

Coordinate Worksheets (1st Quadrant)

On this webpage you will find our range of free printable coordinates worksheets for 4th and 5th graders.

All the sheets on this page involve plotting and writing down coordinates.

There are 3 separate sections of worksheets on this page.

The first set of sheets just involves plotting and writing down coordinates.

The second set of sheets involve reflecting a shape in a mirror line and then writing down the new coordinates of the reflected shape.

The third set of worksheets are themed coordinate worksheets which are designed for special occasions.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

  • learn to write down coordinates in the first quadrant;
  • learn to plot coordinates correctly;
  • learn to reflect shapes and plot their coordinates.

The sheets on this page are suitable for children in grades 4 & 5.
