    Good morning Yr 5!
    I hope you all had a lovely weekend – Happy Monday!
    Good luck with today’s maths challenge, It looks very interesting. I have already drawn four lines and split my square into two identical parts for each, the last dissection is a little more challenging to find the fifth.
