Counting Squares in a 4x4 Grid 

We need to count the number of squares of various sizes in a 4x4 grid:

Step-by-step counting:

• 1x1 squares: There are 4 × 4 = 16 squares.
• 2x2 squares: These can fit in a 3 × 3 grid, so there are 3 × 3 = 9 squares.
• 3x3 squares: These can fit in a 2 × 2 grid, so there are 2 × 2 = 4 squares.
• 1x1 big square (4x4): There is 1 square which is the entire grid.

Total Number of Squares:

Total squares = 16 (1x1) + 9 (2x2) + 4 (3x3) + 1 (4x4) = 30 squares
