graph paper collection 1

Neat graph-paper variants are easy to come by, but I decided to pull together some collections that lend themselves to certain geometrically-inspired math doodling. The first collection includes isometric dot paper,  tumbling block paper, and some detached square paper - all generated at  incompetech.com (what a name!).

Isometric dot paper is now a staple of middle-school math (I only first saw it a few years ago though).

Tumbling block paper is a quasi-regular rhombic tiling that's really just the isometric paper with the dots connected in a certain way.

One of the things that the "detached square" paper helps you draw are overlapping columns that look like the Penrose impossible staircase.
