INVESTIGATION PILING SQUARES

This investigation looks at different ways of piling squares.

All the squares are the same size.

1 Squares are piled in a pattern, like this:

1 square on the bottom row

Total = 1 square
2 squares on the bottom row
Total = 3 squares
3 squares on the bottom row
Total = 6 squares

(a) On the dotty paper, complete the next two diagrams in this sequence.

(b) (i) Complete the table.

Number of squares
1 2 3 4 5 6
on the bottom row (s)

Total number
1 3 6
of squares (T)

[3]

(ii) When the number of squares on the bottom row is 3 the total number of squares is 6.

Use this information to explain how to calculate the total number of squares when there are
4 squares on the bottom row.

............................................................................................................................................. [1]

(c) (i) Write down the number of extra squares needed to change a pattern with 9 squares on the
bottom row to one with 10 squares on the bottom row.

................................................. [1]

(ii) Calculate the total number of squares when there are 10 squares on the bottom row.
