How many 8 mm squares fit on a page
Whole squares only, grid centered on the page. With a 10 mm (about 0.4 inch) margin and with no margin:
| Paper | 10 mm margin | No margin |
|---|---|---|
| Letter (8.5 × 11 in) | 24 × 32 = 768 | 26 × 34 = 884 |
| Legal (8.5 × 14 in) | 24 × 41 = 984 | 26 × 44 = 1,144 |
| Tabloid (11 × 17 in) | 32 × 51 = 1,632 | 34 × 53 = 1,802 |
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | 23 × 34 = 782 | 26 × 37 = 962 |
| A3 (297 × 420 mm) | 34 × 50 = 1,700 | 37 × 52 = 1,924 |
| A5 (148 × 210 mm) | 16 × 23 = 368 | 18 × 26 = 468 |
For kids, a normal or bold line in gray or blue is easy to see without being distracting.
