About this template

A fine grid with bold lines every five squares gives you structure for mathematical graphs, technical sketches, floor plans and engineering diagrams. Keep proportions consistent and draw straight lines without a ruler. Students use it for math and physics homework; designers use it for floor plans and wireframes. The grid guides without restricting your pencil.

How to use it

  1. Use each bold square (5×5 small squares) as one unit for scale drawings and floor plans.
  2. For math homework, draw your axes on a bold line so the tick marks land on the grid.
  3. On iPad, turn on the ruler in the pen tools to draw perfectly straight lines between grid points.

Who it's for

  • Professionals: Manage meetings & deadlines
  • Creatives: Capture ideas & inspiration

Frequently asked questions

What does the grid look like?

Small squares with a heavier line every fifth square, so you can count units quickly. It is the classic layout for math, physics and engineering sketches.

Can I print this graph paper?

Yes. The PDF is sized for iPad (3:4) and scales to fit Letter or A4 when you print it, so the squares stay square but are not a fixed metric size.

Can I use it in Goodnotes or Notability?

Yes — the PDF is a standard file, so you can import it into any note app as a page template. In Notes for iPad it is built in, together with square, isometric and hexagonal grids.
