T-Totals

In this investigation I will be finding out the relationship between the        T-total and the T-number.

The first table will be a 9 x 9 table.

  • The T-total is: 1+2+3+11+20=37

The T-number is 20.

  • The T-total is: 2+3+4+12+21=42

The T-number is 21

  • The T-total is: 3+4+5+13+22=47

The T-number is 22

The relationship between each T-total is that they go up in 5’s.  Eg 37+5=42 etc

The relationship between each T-number is that they go up in 1’s.  Eg 20+1=22 etc

I have now decided to translate the T by 2cm to the left.                          

  • The T-total is: 1+2+3+11+20=37

The T-number is 20.

  • The T-total is: 3+4+5+13+22=47

The T-number is 22

  • The T-total is:5+6+7+15+24=57

The T-number is 24

The relationship between each T-total is that they go up in 10’s.  Eg 37+10=47 etc

The relationship between each T-number is that they go up in 2’s.  Eg 20+2=22 etc

I have decided to make a prediction.

  • My prediction is that when I translate the shape by 3cm to the left the T-total will go up by 15 and that the T-number will go up by 3.

  • The T-total is: 1+2+3+11+20=37

The T-number is 20.

  • The T-total is: 4+5+6+14+23=52

The T-number is 23.

  • The T-total is: 7+8+9+17+26=67

The T-number is 26.

  • My prediction is correct.

I predicted that the T-total would go up by 15.  Eg 52-37=15 etc

I also predicted that each T-number would go up by 3.  Eg 20+3=23 etc

I am now going to translate the shape 1cm down.

 

  • The T-total is: 1+2+3+11+20=37

The T-number is 20.

  • The T-total is: 10+11+12+20+29=82

The T-number is 29.

  • The T-total is: 19+20+21+29+38=127

The T-number is 38.
