Coordinate Grid Maker: Numbered Grids by Quadrant and Range

Choose the quadrants, the range and how many grids fit a page, then print numbered coordinate grids.

Print at 100% scale. On paper the squares measure 6 mm (0.24 inch).

Four quadrants 7

  • Coordinate grid, -10 to 10, landscape One grid from -10 to 10 on a sideways page, 9 mm squares, every line numbered.
  • Coordinate grid, -15 to 15 A four-quadrant grid from -15 to 15, 6 mm squares, every fifth line numbered.
  • Four coordinate grids, -5 to 5 Four grids from -5 to 5, two by two, every line numbered: four short plotting questions on one page.
  • Large coordinate grid, -5 to 5 One big four-quadrant grid from -5 to 5 with 18 mm squares: room to write each point's label.
  • Nine coordinate grids, -5 to 5 Nine small grids from -5 to 5, three by three, for a quick quiz of one point or line each.
  • Two coordinate grids side by side, -10 to 10 The page turned sideways, two grids from -10 to 10 next to each other: a shape before and after a move.
  • Two coordinate grids, -10 to 10 Two four-quadrant grids from -10 to 10, one above the other, 6 mm squares, every second line numbered: one for the problem, one for a second try.

First quadrant 4

  • First quadrant grid, 0 to 15 One first-quadrant grid from 0 to 15, 11.5 mm squares, every line numbered.
  • Four first quadrant grids, 0 to 10 Four first-quadrant grids from 0 to 10, two by two, every line numbered.
  • Large first quadrant grid, 0 to 5 One first-quadrant grid from 0 to 5 with 20 mm squares, every line numbered: big enough for a first lesson on ordered pairs.
  • Six first quadrant grids, 0 to 10 Six first-quadrant grids from 0 to 10, two across and three down, every line numbered.

How it works

This coordinate grid maker prints bounded grids with numbered axes: four quadrants from -5 to 5 up to -15 to 15, or the first quadrant from 0 to 5 up to 0 to 15, one to nine a page.

Choose by the question

Plotting a few points for a first lesson: Large first quadrant grid, 0 to 5. A shape and its move: two grids side by side on a sideways page. A quiz of one point each: nine small grids from -5 to 5.

How the axes are numbered

Small grids number every line. The -10 to 10 pairs number every second line, and the -15 to 15 grid and the nine-grid sheet every fifth, so the numbers stay readable at their square size.

  • Laminate one large grid and use it with a dry-erase marker for linear equations on the board.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between a coordinate grid and graph paper?

A coordinate grid has two numbered axes crossing at 0, so every point has an ordered pair such as (3, -2). Graph paper is only squares. For plain squares, print graph paper instead.

Which quadrant grid should I use?

Grade 5 in Common Core states plots points in the first quadrant only, with both numbers positive. Grade 6 adds negative numbers and all four quadrants.

Can I choose my own range?

Pick the sheet with the range you need: -5 to 5, -10 to 10 or -15 to 15, or the first quadrant to 5, 10 or 15. The squares are sized so each sheet fits Letter and A4.
