Jimmy from  Freshwater State School managed to produce a rectangle that was $4$ by $8$. Well done Jimmy. I am guessing that many may have explored various shapes that they produced but did not feel they could send in their findings.

I would like to remind everyone that we are interested in what happens from the starting point - it does not have to be a final concluding result - but feel free to send them in.
