This is a way to train your brain to compare sizes and shapes. There is an image with grid of lines over it. There is another grid of matching number of squares. The challenge is to work on only one square of the grid at a time.
Start at the top and work your way across one row at a time.
If a square is empty in the original drawing, leave that matching square empty in the grid you are working on!
Try to notice how lines touch the edges of their square... are they touching a corner? Are they touching halfway, 1/3 or 2/3 of the way across that edge? If you can focus on the edges of things, the insides become easier.
