Start from a preset

  • Four-quadrant coordinate plane, ±10 One large grid from −10 to 10 on US Letter. Open in the maker →
  • Four coordinate grids per page Four small ±10 planes for homework with several graphs. Open in the maker →
  • First quadrant grid, 0 to 20 Positive numbers only, for plotting points in grade 5. Open in the maker →
  • Two coordinate planes, ±5, A4 Two large grids with big squares for beginners. Open in the maker →

What’s on the coordinate plane

  • A square grid with bold x and y axes and arrows.
  • Numbers along both axes, with 0 at the origin.
  • Quadrants: four, or first quadrant only.
  • Axis range from ±5 to ±20 and Planes per page of 1, 2 or 4.

Use it for plotting ordered pairs, graphing linear equations, reflections and translations, or simple pictures made from points. Four planes per page make a quick worksheet; one plane gives room for careful work.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between four quadrants and the first quadrant?

A four-quadrant plane has the axes crossing in the middle, with negative numbers to the left and below. The first quadrant shows only positive x and y, with the origin in the bottom-left corner, which is how plotting points is usually introduced.

How far do the axes go?

Set Axis range from 5 to 20. With four quadrants, 10 means −10 to 10 on both axes.

Can I print several graphs on one page?

Yes. Choose 1, 2 or 4 under Planes per page. Two planes are stacked; four sit in a 2 × 2 grid. Smaller planes label every second or fifth number so the labels stay readable.

Are the grid squares a fixed size?

No, the squares are sized so the plane fills its space. For exact squares, such as 1/4 inch, use the graph paper template instead.
