Step-Stair Investigation

For my GCSE Maths coursework I was asked to investigate the

relationship between the stair total and the position of the stair

shape on the grid. Secondly I was asked to investigate the

relationship further between the stair totals and the other step

stairs on other number grids. The number grid below has two examples

of 3-step stairs. I will use Algebra as a way to find the relationship

between the stair total and the position of the stair on the grid. I

will use arithmetic and algebra to investigate the relationships

between the grid and the stair further. The variables used will be:

Position of stair on grid = X

Sum of all the numbers within the stair = S

Step Size= n

Grid size= g
