About the coordinate plane graph paper

This is a full-page Cartesian plane with both axes drawn and numbered from -10 to 10, so students can plot ordered pairs and graph linear equations without first ruling up a grid. The x-axis runs across and the y-axis up, meeting at the origin (0, 0) and dividing the page into the four quadrants — numbered anticlockwise from the top right. It suits middle-school graphing and early algebra.

Frequently asked questions

What range does this coordinate plane cover?

Both axes run from -10 to 10, with every whole number marked, which covers almost all introductory plotting and graphing work.

How do you plot a point on it?

Read the x-coordinate first and move that far along the horizontal axis, then move the y-coordinate up or down. The point (3, -2) is three right and two down.

Which quadrant is which?

Quadrant I is the top right, then they number anticlockwise: II top left, III bottom left, IV bottom right.
