Working with Coordinate Plane Grids

Understanding Quadrants

The coordinate plane grid is divided into four quadrants. If students understand how the quadrants are constructed, they will have a much easier time identifying where to plot specific points within the coordinate plane grid.

Take a look at each of the quadrants labeled below. Move your mouse over each quadrant to reveal information about the coordinates found within that quadrant.
