Key Stage 1 Maths

Farmyard Problem

The farmer is planning to build a new pen for some of her animals.

​

She is using a grid of 4 squares to test out different shaped pens.

​

The squares must meet along at least one side.

Helpful Hints

Firstly arrange the 4 squares in a straight line,  and then take a square from one of the ends and add it back on.

What if the farmer decides to plan using five squares?
