All 36 numbers are between 0-10. I can use multiplication or addition to find the patterns. The sums of the diagonal numbers are equal in a square. The pattern of addition exists in every row, each number increases by 1, and in each column it increases by one. The number in the upper right corner and lower left corner is the same.

This inquiry problem is asking me to find some patterns that exist in a
6 x 6 square. All 36 numbers are between 0-10. I can use multiplication or addition to find the patterns. I begin to look for patterns in 2 x 2 and then 3 x 3 squares. A strategy I used was to look for a pattern by making smaller squares. I started with 2x2 squares then up to 3x3 squares. I noticed that the numbers add by one in each square in both the rows and the columns. I also noticed the numbers are the same from the upper right corner diagonal to the lower left corner. This was true in all squares. A solution to this inquiry is that when a pattern exists in a smaller square like 2 x 2, it also exists in a larger square like 3 x 3. The pattern of addition exists in every row, each number increases by 1, and in each column it increases by one. Another pattern that exists is the number in the upper right corner and lower left corner is the same. The sums of the diagonal numbers are equal in a square. This is true for 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 6x6. I will make a conjecture that this pattern is true for all squares.
