About this graph paper

Each square is 1 cm on each side. The squares are big enough for young students to write one digit in each, and easy to count when drawing shapes.

What it is used for

  • Lining up digits in long multiplication and division
  • Drawing shapes and finding area by counting squares
  • Simple bar graphs and line plots

How to print at true size

  • Download the PDF for your paper: US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4 (210 × 297 mm).
  • In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% or "Actual size", not "Fit to page".
  • Check one square with a ruler before you print a stack.
