There are loads of different websites that enable you to make many kinds of graph paper. Often the results are not pleasing after they have been printed.
Today I was printing off some isometric dotty paper for one of my classes and found this excellent site (Sharpe Maths) that allows you to specify the dot or line thicknesses and colours that you require.
Presentation:
Chapter 8 Trig Graphs – a PowerPoint outlining the important information in Chapter 8 that pupils need to learn. Details have been omitted from diagrams, so that you can add them as you go through the presentation with the students. I print the slide handouts for the students and they annotate them with the relevant details. This speeds up the teaching which helps you get more maths done!
