Where can one find free graph paper?
You can print free graph paper if you have a printer. You can find the free graph paper templates available online at the Print Free Graph Paper website.
Why is graph paper called graph paper?
It is called graph paper because it is often used to draw graphs on. The printed grid on it allows neat graphs to be drawn using rulers.
What are coordinates used on?
Maps, and Graph Paper.
How do you do Graph Paper Division?

What is The scale for a graph should always span from?
Step 1: When making a graph on graph paper, it is important to have graph paper with fine enough divisions to give you useful information from your graph. One acceptabletype of graph paper is Purdue Form F, available at the bookstores. Not acceptable graph paper includes pages out of your lab notebook or quad-rule paper (4 squares per inch).Step 2: After selecting a suitable piece of paper, grab a ruler. It is time to draw your axes. You will need a y-axis (up and down) and an x-axis (side to side). Typically, but not always, these will intersect in the lower left corner of your graph paper. Graphs are always Y vs. X. For example a graph of mass vs. volume would have mass on the y-axis and volume on the x-axis.Take a look at your data. One set of data probably spans a much larger range than the other. You will want to orient your graph paper so that the larger data set will be plotted on the long side of the paper. (Do not be afraid to turn your paper sideways. Your TA is smart and will know which way to hold the graph while looking at it.) Now use that ruler to draw you axes. Don't forget to label them each with a name and proper units.Step 3: Now that your axes are drawn, you need to divide them properly. Unless you are making a graph on logrithmic paper (if all the squares on your paper are evenly spaced, you are not) it is important to keep the spacing even along the axis. For example, if you decide that 5 squares is .1 cm on the x-axis, then 5 squares must be .1 cm the whole length of the axis. (5 squares = .1 cm, 10 squares = .2 cm, 15 squares = .3 cm... I think you get the point) In order to get the best possible data from your graph, you should spread your values along the axes as far as possible. You bought the whole page, now use it!
