Make a square with one cut

This is one of those amazing sheets which keep them going for quite a while!  I’ve tried this with a lower set Yr10, an extension class in Yr8 and even a few teachers!  It’s hugely differentiated all on one sheet and the way it’s laid out encourages students to wander to another shape if they get stuck – some of these are really hard.
