Maths Problem for the Weekend!

November 16, 2012 User deactivated 6 Comments

How many squares are there on a chess board? – the answer is not 64!

Can you explain your answers and describe any patterns you see?
What if the board was larger? Can you describe a rule for any size of chess board?

Have fun!
