thanks to all of you. 'Graph paper' is 'carta millimetrata' in Italian, which is not the same as 'carta a quadretti' used for math excercises, calculations etc.

neutral Anna Strowe : I think not in American English. That website looks British (maths with an 's'). I've never heard it called that.

In relation to deserfox's comment - I would agree with him that it's squared paper - the way most Italian writing pads, jotters, etc come - were it not that this is for use in a maths class. I suspect it may be just a loose application of the Italian term.
