Graph paper for math
Graph paper keeps columns of digits lined up, which prevents a surprising number of mistakes in multi-digit arithmetic. It is also perfect for drawing shapes for area and perimeter and plotting points on the coordinate plane.
Printing tips
In the print window, choose 100% or Actual size scaling so the squares measure exactly right, and turn off headers and footers for a clean edge.
