Chessboard coursework

... How many squares on a chess board Introduction This is my first piece of mathematics coursework. In this project I will be finding out how many squares on a 8x8 chess board. In this project I will be including labelled drawings, clear enough to allow a non mathematician to follow, clearly written work, initial drawings of each of my steps and a finished formula justified. Finally an extension on my board making it rectangular. Plan * Introduction * Spider diagram * I will be collecting data from different sized grids ranging from 2x2 to 8x8. * Explanation of how to add up the squares on the grid * Further calculations * Create a table of values. * Formula and formula justified * Draw a graph * Extension * Conclusion * Evaluation Tree diagram Explanation of how to add up the squares on the grid 1. Count how many singular squares there are =16 2. Count how many double squares there are. =9 3. Continue this until you complete the
