Star find
Problem
Here is a grid made up of $9$ squares. All of them are the same except for one. Can you find the odd one out?
The basic tile from the design above looks like this:
In the star design, the tile has been turned around, or
rotated , into different positions.
Below is a wall of $16$ blank tiles. Using the basic tile, can you
make a repeating pattern to decorate our wall? Try
making more designs by rotating the tile and using it in more than
one position.

Student Solutions
Debbie who is 7 and goes to Applegrove Primary School tells us that the odd one out is the middle square because it has two of the designs on it.
