Stage 1 - Square arrangements The spacers that will be used in this investigation are - + Spacer T Spacer L Spacer I began by drawing 5 different arrangements of tiles, beginning with a 1x1 arrangement, and finishing with a 5x5 arrangement. I drew these on a separate piece of graph paper. (See sheet S1). The results gathered from these sketches are shown here: Pattern number Number of Squares + Spacers T Spacers L Spacers 1 1 0 0 4 2 4 1 4 4 3 9 4 8 4 4 16 9 12 4 5 25 16 16 4 The rule for the number of squares is xy.
