    Default Scrap paper

    Scrap paper:
    ?Como se refiere en espanol a papel que no queremos mas (tiene algo escrito en un lado), pero todavia se puede usarlo para cosas informales porque el otro lado esta en blanco? Es diferente que "scraps of paper" que son pedacitos de papel cortados que tiramos.

    Por ejemplo: Quiero que mis estudiantes usen el "scrap paper" que ahorramos en una caja para hacer sus ejercicios en lugar de usar papel limpio y nuevo.

    Quite an unheard of method in Spain but a very good idea if you ask me

    I would suggest:

    hojas desechadas
    Hojas ya usadas

    We say "borradores" u "hojas borrador" here in Argentina and it's very common to use borradores everyweher even in offices.
    You can have a complete "cuaderno borrador" in school too.

    I don't understand what a "cuaderno borrador" is. And, why isn't it "hojas borradores?"

    ?Hay alguien de Mexico que pueda decirme como se dice esto alli?

    !Gracias a todos!

    Hi, I guess because "hojas borrador" comes from "hojas de papel borrador". In fact, "papel borrador" sounds better than "hojas borrador" to me. Cuaderno borrador is a notebook used to write informal stuff and then throw it away when it's all full. Hope it helps

    I don't sure but here in Spanish is "hoja en sucio" or "papel en sucio", for a example:

    - ¿Tienes una hoja en sucio para apuntar un número de telefono?
    - Sí, aquí tienes una hoja en sucio.

    "Hoja en sucio" es una hoja que no es importante, donde al cabo de un tiempo se tirara a la basura.

    Otro ejemplo:

    - Dejame un hoja en sucio para dibujar un pequeño plano de como ir a tu casa.

    Salu2.
