Maths in Virgin Mary G.N.S.

Monthly Maths Challenge!
​

This month we will begin our 'Monthly Maths Challenge', whereby every month, a new challenge will be uploaded for you to give your best shot! Each month, two winners (one Senior student and one Junior student) will be selected at random from all the correctly answered entries.
Give it a try, and most of all, have fun!

Challenge 1 (January)


How many squares can you count in the images below? (You only need to answer one, but can attempt both if you are up to the challenge :))
Note: Squares only, NOT rectangles.
