Welcome to the Square Growth Challenge!
1. Predict & Test
- Use the formula you learned to calculate the perimeter.
- Test your predictions by adding squares using the slider.
- Check your answer by clicking on the square next to the slider.
- How many different ways can you arrange six squares?
- Try arranging the squares together or separately.
- Click and drag the squares to move them into different positions.
- For each arrangement, write down:
- The shape (e.g., straight line, cluster, L-shape).
- The perimeter of that arrangement.
- How does changing the arrangement affect the perimeter?
- Record your observations in your workbook.
