Centimetre squares are big enough for younger children: counting squares for area, drawing bar charts, place value and arrays for multiplication. There is a second version with bold lines every 5 cm, for counting squares at a glance. A check bar at the top of each sheet shows whether your printer kept the scale.

Printing tips

  • Print at 100% or "Actual size". "Fit to page" shrinks the sheet by a few percent and the squares stop being exact.
  • Measure the check bar at the top of the sheet with a ruler: if it is 5 cm (or 2 in), every square is the stated size.
  • Use the A4 PDF on A4 paper and the Letter PDF on Letter paper; both are drawn to the same exact sizes.
