Abstract
This article examines the steps to find out how many squares can be drawn within a 100 by 100 array of points. Strategies of pattern analysis and organization are discussed, and the problem is then extended to include a spatial awareness component. The writers solve these fascinating problems step-by-step and then explain how they could be implemented in the high school Geometry classroom.
