Toothpick Squares

Welcome back bloggers, Today I will be blogging about the title(Get it  Hahahaha:) So what I'm actualy going to be blogging about is MATH!!! Some of you might be thinking Ahhhhhhh!!! but no not MATH!!!! Fun MATH YAAAAAAY!!! I know you probaly arnt still convinsed but oh well. Now, First the Toothpick squares, Here are the instructions Ripeka and Jan were sitting around playing with toothpicks when Ripeka started to make a pattern of squares.
  1. How many squares did Ripeka make with 25 toothpicks?=6 and 1 line
  2. How many toothpicks would Jan need to make a pattern like this that had 9 squares?=32
Challenge: If Nikau tried another pattern with the toothpicks what is the smallest number of toothpicks he would need to make 9 squares all the same size? Add in a new slide to show your working out. Here is mine.
