Here is another example of that. Have you ever looked at taking a series of numbers such as 1 through an endless amount and squaring them? Such as; 1 squared =
2 squared =
3 squared =
4 squared =
5 squared =
6 squared =
7 squared =
8 squared =
9 squared =
10 squared =
11 squared =
12 squared =
13 squared =
14 squared =
15 squared =
16 squared =

Meeting Ice Breakers continued...Most numbers in a series generally follow some type of pattern just as the above series of numbers do when you square them. The pattern that these numbers follow is as follows; 1. 1 x 1 or 1 squared = 1 2. 2 x 2 or 2 squared = Take the previous number (1) and add it to the current number (2), plus the answer to the previous problem (1) will equal the answer to the current problem (4). 1+2+1 = 4 3. 3 x 3 or 3 squared = Take the previous number (2) and add it to the current number (3), plus the answer to the previous problem (4) will equal the answer to the current problem (9). 2+3+4 = 9 4. 4 x 4 or 4 squared = Take the previous number (3) and add it to the current number (4), plus the answer to the previous problem (9) will equal the answer to the current problem (9). 3 + 4 + 9 = 16 5. 5 x 5 or 5 squared = Take the previous number (4) and add it to the current number (5), plus the answer to the previous problem (16) will equal the answer to the current problem' (25). 4 + 5 + 16 = 25 This same pattern will work indefinitely.
1 squared = 1
2 squared = 1 + 2 + 1 = 4
3 squared = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9
4 squared = 3 + 4 + 9 = 16
5 squared = 4 + 5 + 16 = 25
6 squared = 5 + 6 + 25 = 36
7 squared = 6 + 7 + 36 = 49
8 squared = 7 + 8 + 49 = 64
9 squared = 8 + 9 + 64 = 81
10 squared = 9 + 10 + 81 = 100
11 squared = 10+ 11 + 100 = 121
12 squared = 11 + 12 + 121 = 144
13 squared = 12 +13 + 144 = 169
14 squared = 13 + 14 + 169 = 196
15 squared = 14 + 15 + 196 = 225
16 squared = 15+16+225 = 256
