1/2 inch Graph Paper — Letter
At two squares per inch, half-inch cells give you the most room to write and the easiest grid to read across a room. Reach for it with younger children practicing one digit per box, for quick bar charts or simple coordinate plots on a whiteboard handout, or when projecting work so it stays legible. The bold line falls every fourth square, marking a clean two-inch interval.
