## Set

For each set of figures, show how the green colored tiles in the border can be grouped to allow for quick calculation. Each set of figures has two figures of different sizes for you to work with; use a different grouping method on each and provide a mathematical expression that connects with your grouping method.

### 7.

#### a.

Grouping method 1

Figure Size 3

#### b.

Create a mathematical expression to represent your grouping strategy.

#### c.

Grouping method 2

Figure Size 4

#### d.

Create a mathematical expression to represent your grouping strategy.

#### e.

Find the number of green tiles in figure size 8.

#### f.
