Math Question

Look at the squares in this picture.  The pattern of squares is as follows: 1square, 2squares, 3squares, 4squares, 5squares.  Count the number of dots on the perimeter of each grouping, and put this information in a chart.  Do you see any patterns in the information you listed in your chart?  Please comment and explain your pattern rule if you do.

  11. Great comments! I am just about to start my classes for the day, and I was happy to read your comments. I wonder if anyone can make a prediction for a later part of the pattern?

    Have a great day...
