A school notebook for students to copy notes and assignments is called an exercise book or composition book. Different subjects use different exercise formats. Most subjects, for instance, call for a book with white, ruled paper and a margin. Square paper is necessary when drawing graphs, tables, or other graphics for a mathematics book.

What Kinds of Exercise Books Are There?

Based on your needs for studying, you should choose an exercise book. To ensure you are covered during class time, there are various sizes and rulings to fit different subjects. These are some books you should know about.

Ruled

Students who have mastered handwriting can benefit from using ruled pages, which typically have an 8mm ruling width.

Grid/Graph/Quadrant

You can practice mathematical and scientific formulas using books with grid, graph, and quadrant rules. The grid ruling provides space for you to arrange your equations, and graph books come with a plain border for indicating the axis of a graph.

Dotted Thirds

Primary school students beginning their handwriting journey should use an exercise book with dotted thirds because the dotted guides give young learners plenty of room to practice each letter. For primary school students to hone their handwriting skills in preparation for secondary education, books with dotted thirds rules are a must-have on their booklist. There is a third dotted solution for everyone, thanks to the variety of sizes and page counts in dotted third books.

Music Books

The pitch of each musical note is shown on a stave, which is a type of ruling used in music books. It consists of five parallel lines. Some music notation books have an 8 mm line rule on one side and a stave rule on the other, allowing you to write out your musical notation and record musical theory. Staved lines and sizes are available in music manuscript books to suit your needs. Some people also combine ruled and staved pages for writing:
  • Notes,
  • Compositions,
  • Theory, and
  • Lyrics

9×7″ and A4-sized books

Standard A4 and 9×7″ exercise book have 8 mm rulings, but we also offer a variety of specialty rulings in our range to meet all of your booklist requirements.

Binder books

Books that are bound with rings have holes punched into them, which makes them slightly different from standard A4 and 9×7″ exercise book. Our selection of binder books typically have 8 mm rules and come in a range of page counts to meet the needs of every student.

Botany Books

In classes like geography, social studies, and science, late primary and early secondary students can benefit greatly from reading botany books. There is a mix of ruled and blank pages, allowing you to add learning notes next to an assertion or map out information next to written details.

Project books

The pages of project and story books are made for elementary school students to etch images and write about the same, combining written and visual learning. This type of exercise book is available in single ruled or dotted thirds.

Grid, Graph Science Books

For students to space out their equations, visually display information, and more, science books of these types are available. There is always one to fit different uses because they come in various sizes and page counts. A graph book has a plain edge where the graph’s axis can be drawn, as opposed to a grid book where the ruling extends to the page’s edge. Science books have both line ruled pages and graph for writing a hypothesis down on one page and laying out formulas on the next.

Student scrapbooks

For students, school scrapbooks are like blank canvases to approach learning. The blank pages encourage creativity by allowing students to make notes and sketches without regard to rules. These can also be used to attach teacher printouts and pictures.

Conclusion

Students frequently have a different set of homework materials for each lesson or subject. A student’s learning should be primarily documented in their book. These books will be gathered after each lesson for younger students, and the teacher will read them. Exercise book frequently has color coding for each lesson or topic. English could be green, while biology could be blue. Additionally, students might prefer to customize and alter their workbooks.
