Coordinate units are mathematical units, not advertised inches or centimeters. Cells remain square. The selected range stays intact as the layout fits one or several planes on the page.

What this activity builds
Locate ordered pairs using a consistent horizontal and vertical scale.
Worked example
Where is the point (3, 5) on a first-quadrant plane?
Three units to the right of the origin and five units up.
The first coordinate gives horizontal movement; the second gives vertical movement. Count spaces from the origin, not printed grid lines.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Start with positive ordered pairs before introducing negative coordinates.
- Have learners identify the origin before plotting.
- Use several smaller planes for separate examples or a full page for a longer task.
- Hide tick values when students are ready to add their own labels.
