Ready to print

Start with a ready-made worksheet

Choose a picture, then print all of its student pages. Follow each numbered path on the supplied grid; keep different paths separate. Complete any listed dot or circle instructions.

Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.

Print the whole coordinate task

A picture worksheet includes every coordinate-list page followed by a blank graph. The separate answer edition adds the completed drawing. Longer designs need more pages; do not discard a continued path or the final graph.

Each design has fixed geometry. Choose another picture for a different task; paper size, language and page notes change its presentation.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Organize a longer coordinate task into separate paths while maintaining accurate positive and half-unit positions.

Worked example

How do you plot (6.5, 4)?

Halfway between x = 6 and x = 7, at height y = 4.

The decimal describes part of a grid interval, not an extra whole step. Place the point on the y = 4 horizontal line, halfway across the interval from x = 6 to x = 7.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Check that every coordinate-list page and the blank graph were printed.
  • Work one path at a time and mark completed rows on the list.
  • Keep the picture key separate until checking.
  • Use the same chosen design for repeat practice; changing the printed language does not change its geometry.
