Of course it depends on the size of the brick. But you can still do it by the following steps.

1. Let y = square inches of one brick (compute length X width).

2. # bricks = 144 / y ( the number of square inches in a sq. foot divided by size of a single brick)

For example suppose a brick is 2 by 8, then y = 16. 144/16 = 9 so you'd have 9 bricks in a square foot. If you think about it, lay the 9 bricks side by side they'd cover an area that is 18 x 8 =144, the same number of inches in a 12 in x 12 in area.

If you are going to use mortar between the bricks, remember to allow for that in your computation of the brick size..
