to find the amount of total number of squares & then minus the formula for the white squares.
E.g.
Total number of squares – 4N = number of dark squares
Adding to my list of algebraic letters I will add the letter T.
N = pattern number
D = dark squares
W = white squares
T = total number of squares
I am now going to complete a table to show the development of the pattern number (N) against the total number of squares (T).
