One-inch squares are the largest standard graph paper. A Letter page holds a grid of 7 by 10 squares, which is plenty for a quick map, a seating plan or a place-value chart. The grid uses a slightly stronger line colour than the finer presets so it stays visible from across a table.
Teachers use it for numbered number lines, array models for multiplication and treasure-map activities, where every square is big enough for a counter or a sticker.
Good for
- Multiplication arrays and area models
- Bingo and board-game boards
- Seating plans and room layouts
- Rough layouts for posters and displays
Printing tips
- Print on A3 or Tabloid for a classroom wall chart.
