Investigate the relationship between the T-total and the T-number. 2. Use different sized grids. Translate the T shape to different position and investigate the relationships between the T-total the T-numbers and the grid size. 3. Use grids of different sizes again. Try other transformation and combinations of transformations. Investigate relationships between the T-total, the T-total, the gridsize and the transformations.

I am now going to try and work out a formula for the relationships between the T-total and the T-number for anywhere on the grid. I am going to do this by working out all of the numbers in relation to N (T-number.) 1 2 3 n-19 n-18 n-17 11 = n-9 20 n Now I will add up all of the N's and all of...
