T-Total investigating monitoring cover sheet

Introduction

In this investigation we have to find a relationship between the numbers in the T and the T-Total number.

We are using a nine by nine grid and we will move the T is a systematic way to see if wee is able to find a relationship between the numbers across the grid.

The total of the numbers inside the T are:

1 + 2 + 3 + 11 + 20 = 37

The number at the bottom of the T is called the T number:

To make sure you get a different T number each time, you need to move the T shape around the number grid.

   T- Number                                        T – Total

20                                                     37

21                                                     42

22                                                     47

23                                                     52

24                                                     57

25                                                     62

The pattern in this table is for the T- Number it is plus one every time and for the T-Total it is plus five every time.

The nth term = 5N – 63
