NUMBER GRID Look at this number grid: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 10 x 10 grid * A box is drawn round four numbers. * Find the product of the top left number and the bottom right number in this box. * Do the same with the top right and bottom left numbers. * Calculate the difference between these products. Investigate further. The purpose of this investigation is to prove or disprove that there is a correlation between the products of corner numbers of any size box within any size grid. I shall calculate the diagonal difference (d) for a box. There are two ways to calculate the difference between the products: V W Y Z i. W x Y - V x Z ii. V x Z - W x Y I shall begin with the 10 x 10 grid, as shown above, and a 2 x 2 box. 2 x 2 box #1 I have substituted numbers for the letters in my two formulae. 1 2 11 12 i. d = 2 x 11 -...
