Mind bending maths!

We've been learning about area (measuring the inside of shapes) and perimetre (measuring the outside of shapes).

Then Mrs Ware gave us a tricky problem. How many ways can you make a rectangle with a perimetre of 1m.  First we figured out that 1m was the same as 100cm. Then we used some quad paper and tried lots of different rectangles. We added up the sides to check if we were right. These are all the ones we found.
