https://www.deprismedia.com/digital-und-offsetdruck/notizbue...

The last of these also provides an English 'translation' — namely "with angled check" — that is too literal, not at all idiomatic, and not at all recommended by me

For mathematical applications this could be seen as a type of "graph paper", although when I think of "graph paper" I tend to envisage a finer spacing between lines (about 1 to 2 mm spacing)
http://print-graph-paper.com/
For mathematical applications with a coarser spacing one might use the term "grid paper"...
https://www.waterproofpaper.com/graph-paper/grid-paper.shtml
...and here it is used in the context of generic applications too:

This extends also to the phrase "grid notebook", etc.
https://www.fallindesign.com/grid-notebooks/

However, for generic applications including writing, sketching, accounting and so on, I would go with the term "gridded".
With a quick search, this may not be the most popular phrasing, but it certainly is used.

https://dynamic-stationery.com/index.php?route=product/categ...

Having looked up one stationery shop, they use the phrase "[with a] grid ruling".

Finally, following the above phrase one can also get "grid-ruled", although it seems to be relatively uncommon

You could also add "square" into the expression to obtain
"with square grid" ...

...or "with grid squares".

The terms "quad-ruled" and "quadrille" also appear...

...but they may connote a specific spacing between lines, namely ¼-inch squares, i.e. 4 squares per inch.
