About this 5mm graph paper
5mm graph paper is probably the grid you used at school: small, even squares that are 5 millimetres on each side. Two squares make a centimetre, so measuring and drawing to scale is easy.
It works well for maths homework, physics graphs, quick floor plans and bullet journals. The lines are light gray by default so your own writing stays easy to read.
What it’s good for
- Maths homework and plotting simple graphs
- Science lab reports
- Sketching floor plans and furniture layouts
- Bullet journals and handwriting practice
How to print it
Pick a size above and open the PDF. In the print dialog choose the same paper size and set the scale to 100% (Actual size), so the grid comes out at exactly 5 mm squares.
