Graph paper with axes

The x and y axes cross at the centre, ready for plotting coordinates in all four quadrants, straight lines, curves and transformations. Keep the numbers on to label the axes, or turn them off to choose your own scale. Print at 100% (Actual size) so the squares stay true.

Coordinate grid paper saves drawing the axes every time. The origin sits in the centre so you can plot in all four quadrants. Turn the numbers off for blank axes, or change the square size to fit a bigger or smaller range.

• In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% or Actual size. Fit to page shrinks the page and the spacing with it.
• Choose the same paper size in the print dialog as on this page.
• Turn off headers and footers in the print dialog if your browser adds a date or web address.
• The PDF keeps every line as a vector, so it stays sharp at any zoom and prints the same on any printer.

Is the paper free to use?

Yes. Print as many copies as you like for yourself, your class or your study group.

Why does my printout look slightly smaller?

The print dialog is scaling it. Set the scale to 100% or Actual size and the spacing matches the number you picked.

A4 or US Letter?

A4 (210 x 297 mm) is used in the UK, Europe and most of the world. US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) is used in the US and Canada. Pick the paper that is in your printer. Under Other you will also find A3, A5, A6, B5, US Legal, Tabloid, Executive and Half Letter.

Which colour should I pick?

Light grey and blue sit quietly behind your writing. Print-friendly uses black ink only, which suits photocopying and black and white printers.
