3 Jason’s Method “I drew a square all round the tilted square.
I then took away the area of the four right triangles.”

4 Kate’s Method “I divided the tilted squares into four right triangles and little squares inside.”

5 Simon’s Method “I found the area inside the bold line is the same area as the tilted square and used that.”
