First Quadrant Graph Paper

First quadrant graph paper shows only the positive part of the coordinate plane: the x- and y-axes start at 0 in the bottom-left corner and run to 20. It is the grid used when students first learn to plot ordered pairs, before negative numbers are introduced.

It is the top-right part of the coordinate plane, where both x and y are positive. Points like (3, 5) are in the first quadrant.

Can I fit four first-quadrant grids on one page?

Yes. Set "Grids per page" to 4 and "Axis range" to 10.
