Squares that Share!
Information: The chart below shows the smallest number of toothpicks needed to make several squares if they each share one side and are arranged in a straight line.
4 toothpicks
7 toothpicks
13 toothpicks
There are many different ways that the 4 squares in the third box could be arranged. Try to find one way you could arrange the squares so that less than 13 toothpicks could be used to create four squares. Draw as many ways as you can think of that they could be arranged.Rules:1. This time they may NOT be arranged in a straight line2. They MAY share more than one side.3. The side of each square must touch one entire side of another square.
