Today Miss Jeffery set us a challenge. We had to count how many squares were on a chess board. You may think that it's 64 but no, we had to count those squares and the bigger squares! We found out a pattern. We worked out that there were 64 single squares and 49 two by two sized squares. As they are both square numbers (8x8 and 7x7) we predicted that there would be 36 three by three sized squares, 25 four by four sized squares and so on. And we were right! So you can see our pattern. In the end all of them together is........ 204! We had lots of fun finding out and writing sums ( Miss Jeffery the most) we all had super duper FUN.
