About this 1/4 inch graph paper
1/4 inch graph paper has four squares to every inch. In the US it is often sold as quad ruled or quadrille paper, and it is the grid most students get handed in algebra and geometry class.
The squares are big enough to write a digit in each box, which keeps long sums and equations neatly lined up. It is also handy for quick scale drawings where one square equals a foot.
