Tape four pieces of notebook paper together. Make a square foot that is 1 foot (12 inches) long and 1 foot (12 inches) wide. Cut out the square foot. Then, using a ruler and a pencil, divide the square foot, first horizontally into 1 inch equal strips, and then vertically into 1 inch equal strips. Each square is one square inch. How many square inches did you find in the square foot?
