materials required: Card paper, scale, pencil, a pair of scissors.

Procedure:

Š Take a piece of card paper and cut a square of size 8 cm by 8 cm from

it.

Š Draw three horizontal lines and three vertical lines on it at equal gaps

with the help of a pencil and scale, so that 16 small squares are
formed inside the big square.

Š Draw one complete diagonal and one incomplete diagonal of a big

square, as shown here. Then draw one square and one triangle using

these diagonals (shown in red colour). Extend one side of square as
shown here.

Š Cut the big square into 7 pieces (tans), as shown below. You can use
