From Sanker:
I need help to solve this Rules for bulding towers of cubes | rule 1 | The number of cubes on the bottom layer is always one less than the number of squares on the grid | | rule 2 | Each new layer is made with one cube less than the layer underneath it. | - Investigate how many different arrangements there are of 4 cubes on top of 5 cubes on a two by three grid
- investigate the number of different arrangements of six cubes on top of seven cubes on a two by four grid
- investigate the relation between the number of arrangements of cubes and the size of the grid
- when there are two layers of cubes
- when there are more than two layers of cubes
