Example in use. The large cells make individual positions easy to point to and count.This is a usage illustration. Customize the sheet above before downloading.
  1. Print and check one square

    Download the landscape PDF and print at 100%. Measure a cell when an actual one-inch square is required.

  2. Give each cell one job

    Place one counter, drawing or number in each square. Use rows and columns to explain position or grouping.

  3. Count rows, columns or steps

    Ask the learner to count occupied cells or move a counter between positions. Start with a small area of the sheet.

Try this. Use a smaller grid when the drawing needs more detail; large cells prioritize space and visibility.
