Sized for A4 paper
Square dot paper with dots 2 cm and 1 cm apart
Isometric dot paper and isometric graph paper
Hexagon paper for tiling
Twelve 5 by 5 geoboard dot grids

Skills Covered

Draw shapes by joining dots
Draw squares, rectangles and triangles of a given size
Find area by counting squares between dots

Draw cubes and solid figures on isometric dots
Copy a figure from a geoboard
Make tiling patterns with triangles and hexagons

How to Use This Pack

Six dot and grid templates sized for A4. Pages 1 and 2 are square dot paper, with dots 2 cm and 1 cm apart, for drawing shapes and finding area. Pages 3 and 4 are isometric: dots, and then triangle lines, in rows that let pupils draw cubes, cuboids and stacks of blocks so they look solid. Page 5 is hexagon paper for tiling and pattern-block designs, and page 6 has twelve 5 by 5 dot grids, the size of a classroom geoboard. For US Letter paper, print our Dot Paper and Isometric Paper instead.

In the Classroom

Build a shape on a geoboard and have students copy it onto page 6, then trade with a partner. On page 3, show how a cube is three diamonds that share a corner, then build a 2 by 2 by 2 cube together. Square dot paper works well for drawing all the rectangles with an area of 12.

At Home

Play dots and boxes on page 1: take turns joining two dots, and whoever closes a box writes their initial in it.

Tips for Success

Print at 100% (actual size) for true spacing
On isometric paper, vertical lines stay vertical and the others slant
Count the spaces between dots, not the dots, to measure a side

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

2.G.A.1 Draw and spot shapes with given features, like a number of angles or faces, and name triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons and cubes.
3.MD.C.5a Know that a square with 1-unit sides has an area of one square unit and can be used to measure area.
3.MD.C.5b Know that a flat shape exactly covered by some number of unit squares, with no spaces or overlapping, has that many square units of area.
3.MD.C.6 Find an area by counting how many unit squares cover it, in square centimeters, meters, inches, feet or made-up units.
3.G.A.1 See that shapes like rhombuses, rectangles and squares share features, such as four sides, that make them all quadrilaterals; draw quadrilaterals outside those groups.
