There are lots of sites offering free graph/grid paper, but not so many providing high quality grid images with the specific purpose of using them in a worksheet or exam create in Word (or other program).

‘Tis the season to be programming.
Teachers in NSW are currently programming for the New NSW K–10 syllabuses for the Australian curriculum in Mathematics. (Of course, teachers in other states have already implemented the Australian Curriculum) As all these teachers are programming and collecting resources, I’ve updated MathsLinks and MathsFaculty with the outcomes from this new syllabus.
You can now browse MathsLinks by the New NSW Syllabus for the A.C..
I hope as you find a resource for the new syllabus that you can submit the link on MathsLinks and reference it with the new outcomes.
If you create a new resource, MathsFaculty would be a great place to share it, again uploaded resources can be linked to the new outcomes.
For those outside of NSW, you can also browse by Australian Curriculum outcomes.
And, if a link on MathsLinks is not correctly categorised please help align this link – see the screenshot.

Just thinking during the staff development day.
Would numeracy levels improve if other faculties devoted same amount of time to numerical problem solving as they do to persuasive writing?
