About the 1 inch graph paper

One-inch graph paper has a single square to the inch. It is the easiest grid for young children to write inside, and the natural choice for teaching area and perimeter because each square really is one square inch. It also works well for planning layouts, quilt blocks and pixel-style art.

Frequently asked questions

How many squares are on the page?

A US Letter sheet fits roughly 7 columns by 9 rows of one-inch squares once the printable margin is allowed for.

Is each square really one inch?

Yes, provided you print at 100% scale rather than "fit to page". The sheet is drawn at exactly 200 pixels to the inch.

Is it free?

Yes — free to print, download and photocopy, with no account needed.
