4-Parted Square

Home / Puzzles in Education / Hands On Puzzles / Grade 3 /

A large square can be quite easily divided into 4 identical sized smaller squares.
This is shown in the illustration. Obviously, all 4 smaller squares are of the same
size. There are 3 more ways to divide the large square into 4 identically shaped
parts. They are not squares, but each of them must contain 4 mini squares. Can
you find those 3 other ways?
