Counting Squares

Yesterday while entertaining my 6 year old grandchild we drew a picture with a number of squares on it. My question to him was 

  • How many squares can you find? 
  • His response was a cursory glance and counted the small squares but not the large one.
  • With some help ad guidance he was able to start focusing on 1 x 1, 2 x 2, 3,x 3 squares.

I believe we need to do these types of visualisation Problems with all levels of students.
