204
sorry about my formula hanumaster, you are correct about that formula being wrong, ill have to work on it more today and come back with the correct one, sorry about that! and yes, to explain to those who wrote 64, every 4 squares is another square, and so on. Mr E. is correct but i belive theres a much simpler equestion thatll ill hopefully have by tommorow.

There is 1 square that is 8 x 8
There are 4 squares that are 7 x 7
There are 9 squares that are 6 x 6
There are 16 squares that are 5 x 5
There are 25 squares that are 4 x 4
There are 36 squares that are 3 x 3
There are 49 squares that are 2 x 2
There are 64 single squares.
1+4+9+16+25+36+49+64 = 204.
For any size checkerboard, the total number of squares of different sizes = the sum from 1 to x of all integers x^2.

The correct answer is 204--unless your teacher has such a low opinion of you that she's asking "how much is 8*8". To be clearer you might have asked "how many squares OF ANY SIZE are in a standard 8*8 checkerboard."

All you have to do is multiply the 8 by 8 which equals 64 squares. On every checkers or chess board there are 64 squares. It is just a simply mathamatical equation. The answer is 64 and be no other answer.

64 because 8 x 8 = 64

but whats up with your formula? that is not the correct formula
attention simpletons: there are 64 small squares and more larger squares

64
multiply the number of squares on each side (8 x 8)
