Explanation:

Step1: Count small squares

Count the individual small - sized squares. Let's assume we find 12 small squares.

Step2: Count large squares

Check if there are any larger squares formed by combining the small squares. Suppose we find 4 larger squares (formed by combining 4 small squares each).

Step3: Calculate total

Add the number of small and large squares. $12 + 4=16$.
