How to help

Join the marks on opposite sides with straight lines to make rows and columns. Count the squares in one row, then add that number for each row.

Watch for: Drawing lines that miss the marks, so squares come out unequal. Counting lines instead of squares. Counting some squares twice.

At home: Fold a paper rectangle into rows and columns, open it up and count the squares, then check by rows.
