Toulouse Grids

Toulouse grids (ppt)

These grids were designed to use with some teachers in Toulouse - hence called 'Toulouse grids' - to demonstrate how variation can be used to expose structure. In most cases this involved thinking about how combining two polynomials gives clues about polynomials with higher powers.

What do you need to do to find the value in any cell without filling in all the sequential cells leading to it?
