Investigating the Relationship Between the T-Total and the T-Number

CODE - tn = T-Number. tt = T-Total

Aim: I) Investigate the relationship between the T-Total and the

T-Number

II) Investigate the relationship between the T-Total, the T-Numbers

and the grid size, using translation

III) Investigate the relationship between the T-Total, the T-Numbers,

the grid size and the transformations.

Part I

------

We were working with a 9x9 grid, and we had to construct a t-shape

like this

And so on…

To make the T-TOTAL, we had to add all the numbers inside the T

together, and the T-NUMBER was the number at the bottom of the T (as

highlighted inside the T).

To start with I added all the numbers together inside the T, and for

20 the T-Total was 37 - (1+2+3+11+20 = 37). I then did 21,22, 23 and

so on up to 26. My results were as follows:

20 = 37

21 = 42

22 = 47

23 = 52

24 = 57

25 = 62

Just from these results I can see that the T-Total rises by 5 every

time the T-Number rises by 1. This means that there is a 1:5 ratio in

terms of the T-Total and T-Number.

After this I had to work out a formula showing the relationship
