Create your own growing geometric pattern. Draw it up to Stage 4 and describe how it grows. Complete a table showing stage number and number of shapes.

Here is the solution to Question 3: 3.1 Create your own growing geometric pattern. Draw it up to Stage 4. Stage 1: A single square. Stage 2: A 2 × 2 arrangement of squares (total 4 squares). Stage 3: A 3 × 3 arrangement of squares (total 9 squares). Stage 4: A 4 × 4 arrangement of squares (total 16 squares). 3.2 Describe how your pattern grows. The pattern grows by forming a larger square at each stage. The side length of the square increases by one unit at each subsequent stage. For example, Stage 1 is a 1 × 1 square, Stage 2 is a 2 × 2 square, and so on. 3.3 Complete a table showing Stage number and number of shapes. | Stage Number (n) | Number of Shapes | | :--------------- | :--------------- | | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 4 | | 3 | 9 | | 4 | 16 | 3.4 Write a rule for your pattern in words. The number of shapes at any given stage is the square of the stage number. Send me the next one 📸
