Which kind of graph paper should I buy?

For students and professionals in some mathematical disciplines, graph paper is as essential as a calculator or pencil. But this critical tool comes in multiple varieties, and certain types of graph paper can be particularly useful for particular kinds of work.

Grid paper is typically categorized by the number of squares per square inch. For example, 10x10 graph paper features very small squares, which can be helpful for highly precise graphical representations. However, 4x4 graph paper is more common, with slightly larger squares that are ideal for basic calculations and school work.

What sizes does graph paper come in?

Most pages of graph paper measure 8.5 inches wide and 11 inches long, the same dimensions as a standard piece of printer paper. However, the selection of graph paper products includes several offerings in other measurements, providing customers with a rich selection of alternatives.

For example, some graph paper notebooks have slightly larger or smaller pages, while some graph paper pads offer legal-size pages (which are 14 inches long).

Can I buy graph paper in loose-leaf sheets?

There are several varieties of loose-leaf or unbound graph paper. Some of these products are hole-punched, making them ideal for inclusion in a binder. Customers also have many options in terms of the quantity of graph paper pages they purchase, from individual packs of 40 pages to multipacks that include 600 pages.
