All the Cartesian Plane Templates You Will Ever Need! 

Our Cartesian plane template set has got you covered for all of your Cartesian graphing needs. It offers eleven different templates, including but not limited to the following:

• Quadrant 1 Single Grid (Numbered to 20)
• Quadrant 1 Single Grid (Numbered to 15)
• Quadrant 1 Single Grid (Numbered to 10)
• Quadrant 1 Double Grid (Numbered to 15)
• Quadrant 1 Quadruple Grid (Numbered to 10)
• Four Quadrant Single Grid (Numbered from -15 to 15)
• Four Quadrant Single Grid (Numbered from -10 to 10)
• Four Quadrant Single Grid (Numbered from -5 to 5)
• Four Quadrant Quadruple Grid (Numbered from -5 to 5)

With such a wide variety, these templates are sure to be of use in many Cartesian plane lessons, activities, and games. For longevity and sustainability, print a set on cardstock, and students can graph with dry erase markers again and again! 

Cartesian Plane Template Ideas

There are so many ways to use this template set in the classroom. Here are some of our favourites! 

• Plotting Points Battleship: Students can use these grids and call out coordinates to play a modified version of the classic game “Battleship” where they search for their opponent’s “ships.” 
• Cartesian Plane Art: Some beautiful art can be made on the Cartesian plane. Students can create a picture using points on the plane and then record these ordered pairs so a friend can reproduce their art.  
• Problem Solving: Cartesian planes are often used to display data or represent mathematical scenarios, making them a great problem-solving tool.
• Mapping: Students can use these templates to create maps of real-world geographic data, seamlessly connecting maths and social studies.
