Finding Halves with Unit Squares

Instructions

The Challenge Use the POINTER tool to move unit squares to cover exactly one half of the area of  each of the yellow rectangles.  Find six different ways to do this.   Remember, you are not trying to divide the rectangle into two halves, you are trying to cover  one-half the area of the rectangle. Print and Discuss When you have found six ways to cover a half, print the GeoGebra screen. Find a partner who is also finished and compare your solutions. Do you agree with each other?  Did you find different solutions? Are there others?  How many?
