How Many Squares?

What does a substitute teacher do during 5th grade math tests? Sometimes he takes it himself. It's embarrassing if he can get only four of six problems correct.

This WAS a tough little practice test. Six questions and 30minutes to complete. The best student score was 4 correct...same as mine. Take the test to see how you do. Then "comment" with your answer. No cheating please!

How many squares do you see?





(I missed one !!**%$&^% square! ...had to look on the answer sheet to find it)

    That's 10 unless you count the pink square it's printed on.

    There are definitely 11. Do it systematically. Top to bottom, left to right. There's the 5 little ones, the big one, & 5 middle sized ones forming a plus sign.

    11. But it took more than one counting to find them all.
