We really love this free graph paper generator. You can create your own custom graph paper online and then print it out. You can specify the color, the number of squares, the line weight, and the document size.

Yeah, we know it’s geeky to like graph paper, but we think it’s cool. Besides, you never know when you’ll need to graph data. Okay, maybe you’ll never need it, but now you know where you can get it.

Ever wonder about the best way to chart data in a school report?

Sure you can use line graphs, pie charts, or histograms, but sometimes that’s not enough. Sometimes you need to quantify data in a visual way, and the old pie chart isn’t going to work.

So for a quick review of your charting options, check out the Periodic Table of Visualization Methods. This chart will remind you about some of the charts you’ve forgotten about, and also introduce you to ones you may have never heard of.

This online tool will provide you with a variety of creative ways to organize data. And it’s especially helpful when you need to depict complex information in a simple way.
