Can't get jQuery to work at all, please tell me what I'm doing wrong

I am supposed to be creating a game for my Javascript class and I am trying to create a checker game using jQuery. I just started adding jQuery and nothing has worked so far. It has been very frustrating. 

$( document ).ready(function() {
    $("#red1").hide();
});
#checkerBoard {
    border: 2px solid black;
    width: 1000px;
}

.red {
    background-color: red;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    margin: 0;
}
.black {
    background-color: #000;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    margin: 0;
}
td {
    width: 2em;
    height: em;
    text-align: center;
}

img {
    width: 6em;
    height: 6em;
    text-align: center;
}

Make sure that your linked script is the correct type.

<script src="script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

As you can see in the jsfiddle link the image is correctly hidden.

Make sure your jquery path is correct. JS type must be "text/javascript". It will also work if you remove type attribute. HTML5 supports it.
