Example
Example: four first-quadrant grids on Letter for fifth-grade graphing
Fifth graders plot points such as (2, 3) and (7, 5) in the first quadrant only. Settings: Letter, Portrait, Axes run to 10, First quadrant only, 4 planes per page, grey lines.
- From 0 to 10 is 10 squares each way. Four planes share the page, so each square comes out 7.63 mm (0.30 in) and each grid 3 in across.
- The origin sits at the bottom left; every line is numbered, 1 to 10, and the lines at 0, 5 and 10 are drawn a little heavier.
- Print at 100 % (actual size), not fit to page, and the squares stay 0.30 in each way.
| Settings (Letter, portrait) | Square side | Numbers written |
|---|---|---|
| 1 plane, −5 to 5 | 16.90 mm (0.67 in) | all |
| 1 plane, −10 to 10 | 8.85 mm (0.35 in) | all |
| 1 plane, first quadrant, 0 to 10 | 16.90 mm (0.67 in) | all |
| 1 plane, −20 to 20 | 4.53 mm (0.18 in) | all |
| 2 planes, −10 to 10 | 5.32 mm (0.21 in) | all |
| 4 planes, −5 to 5 | 7.63 mm (0.30 in) | all |
| 4 planes, −10 to 10 | 4.00 mm (0.16 in) | every other |
| 4 planes, first quadrant, 0 to 10 | 7.63 mm (0.30 in) | all |
coordinate-plane.pdf: one page with four ready grids, one per exercise. For one big plane to plot a line on, choose 1 plane to 10: 0.35 in squares in all four quadrants.
How it works
- Choose four quadrants, or only the first for positive numbers.
- Choose how far the axes run: 5, 10, 15 or 20.
- Choose one large plane to a page, or two or four for an exercise sheet.
- Download the PDF and print it at actual size.
Frequently asked questions
- Are the axes numbered?
- Yes. Every line is numbered along both axes, with 0 at the origin and x and y at the arrow heads. When a square comes out under 4.5 mm, every other number is written so they stay readable: on Letter, for example, four planes to 10 in all four quadrants.
- Can I have only positive numbers?
- Choose the first quadrant: the origin moves to the bottom left and the axes run from 0.
- Will the squares be square when printed?
- Yes. The grid is drawn as lines at a fixed size; print at 100 % (actual size) rather than “fit to page” and every square is the same width as its height.
- How big are the squares on Letter paper?
- Portrait, one plane: 0.67 in to 5, 0.35 in to 10, 0.18 in to 20. Four planes to a page: 0.30 in to 5, or 0 to 10 in the first quadrant, and 0.16 in to 10. Print at actual size to keep them.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The paper is drawn in your browser. On the free plan a small line with our name is printed at the foot of the last page.
