What Is 1 CM Graph Paper?

1 CM graph paper is a metric grid made of squares that are exactly 1 centimeter on each side. Ten small squares in a row add up to 10 cm, and a 10x10 block covers 100 cm² — handy for quick length and area estimates. The bold, larger squares make it easy to count, measure and sketch without a ruler. It's a step up in scale from 5mm graph paper, so it suits younger students and rougher sketches better than fine technical work.
