This resource ask students to really think about and visualize how they can dissect a shape and make it into a square. The students have to work out the total area of the shape and the length of sides needed to make the shape. They will use Pythagoras to work out the missing diagonals needed to make the squares.
For an extension activity students can try and make their own shape and dissect it.
