Blank Coordinate Plane
Axes, arrows and a grid, with no numbers printed. Students write their own scale, so the same sheet works for ±10, counting by 5s or plotting data in the hundreds.

About the blank coordinate plane
A blank coordinate plane leaves the scale to the person using it. That matters more than it sounds: when a problem asks for points such as (150, −40), a pre-numbered ±10 grid is useless, but an unnumbered one just needs a scale written along each axis, for example 25 per square across and 10 per square up.
Write the scale before plotting anything, label both axes, and keep each axis evenly spaced (the x and y scales can differ). Teachers often use blank planes for assessments, because choosing a sensible scale is itself one of the skills being tested.
Questions
What is a blank coordinate plane?
A coordinate grid with an x-axis and a y-axis drawn through the middle but no numbers printed, so you can choose and write in your own scale.
How do I choose a scale for a blank coordinate plane?
Find the largest absolute x and y values you need to plot, divide each by the number of squares from the origin to the edge (10 on this default sheet), and round up to a friendly step such as 1, 2, 5, 10 or 25.
Can I add numbers back?
Yes. Tick “Print numbers” and the axes are numbered at every square, or every 2nd or 5th square when the grid is small.
