Coordinate plane worksheets

Grids with numbered axes: plot the points listed, read the coordinates of points already drawn, or plot points and join them in order into a shape. First quadrant or all four, new points every time, with the key plotted for you.

How to use it

  1. Pick the quadrants: the first quadrant from 0 to 10 (a number at every line) or 0 to 20 (every other line) to begin with, or all four quadrants from −10 to 10 once negative numbers are known.
  2. Pick the kind of sheet and the number of points (the shape sheet uses the points of its shape), and one or two planes to a page. The sheet appears on the right at once; "New random sheet" gives another.
  3. Press "Print / Save as PDF". The answer key is the last page: the plane with the points plotted for the plotting and shape sheets (the shape named too), a list of coordinates for the reading sheet.

Questions and answers

Which quadrants can I choose?

The first quadrant from 0 to 10 (a number at every line) or 0 to 20 (every other line), and all four quadrants from −10 to 10 for children who know negative numbers. The axes are heavy lines, the grid light ones.

Which shapes does the join-the-dots sheet make?

A square, triangle, diamond, house, star or arrow, chosen and placed at random each time. The list of points ends with the first point again so the shape closes; the key plots and joins them and names the shape.

Can points repeat or overlap?

No. On one sheet no point comes twice, none sits at the origin, and points are at least 2 apart so the letters never overlap. Points are lettered A, B, C … skipping I and O.
