Number patterns and the coordinate plane: printable worksheets
Plot and read ordered pairs in the first quadrant, connect points into a shape, and graph the pairs of two number patterns.
Sample worksheet
The first 2 problems of a real worksheet, made the way the builder makes it. Open it in the builder to change the number of problems, the difficulty and the layout, then print.
1.
Plot and join the points in order.
Join the last point to the first.
A(0, 2) B(8, 2) C(8, 10)
What shape did you make?
2.

What students practise
I can find and explain the rule of a number pattern.
Students continue a number pattern, find the rule from its numbers or an in and out table, make a pattern from a rule, and explain features of the pattern that the rule does not state.
Key words
- pattern
- numbers that follow a rule
- rule
- what you do to get from one number to the next
- term
- one number in a pattern
- input
- the number that goes into a rule
- output
- the number that comes out of a rule
Common mistakes
- Finds the change between the first two numbers only.
- Treats a multiply pattern as adding the same amount.
Standards
Common Core State Standards this worksheet practises.
- 5.OA.B.3: Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. (unverified)
- 5.G.A.1: Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate). (unverified)
- 5.G.A.2: Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation. (unverified)
