GCSE Mathematics Introduction The main objective of this coursework is to investigate the relationship between the stair total and the position of the stair on the number grid shown in the figure below 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Fig. 1.01 Before I get started, I will observe the position of the 3-step number stair on the grid and come up with some observations statements. I will be referring to these statements further in the investigation. These points are according to the situation above: 1. The stair total is always an even number 2. If the stair is moved one step upwards (if possible); it adds up 60 in the stair total 3. Hence, if the stair is moved one step downwards (if possible); it subtracts 60 in the stair total 4. If the stair is moved one step leftwards (if possible); it subtracts 6 in the stair total 5. Hence, if the stair is moved one step rightwards (if possible); it adds...
