This Grade 5 worksheet challenges learners to read coordinate pairs. Students choose cities that match given latitude and longitude values, identify hemispheres from coordinates, and review key terms like degree, parallel, and meridian. Multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank items help Grade 5 students locate real cities such as New York, London, and Quito on world maps with greater accuracy. Grade 5 students master coordinates.
