POW2: Paving Patterns

What have people tried?

The POW recommends starting with shorter paths...and looking for patterns.

What tools could help us see patterns?

    I used a shorter paths,and found a pattern, and used that pattern to find all the possibilities in 2-inch by 20-inch.

    I drew out up to 10 blocks long and haven't really found a definite pattern yet. Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

    Out of curiosity, how many patterns did you find for a 2x4 path?

    2x5?

    I don't know if I did it wrong, but I for the 2X4 I got 4 patterns. For 2X5 I got, 7 patterns.

    I drew all of the patterns that I could think of from 2x1 to 2x5, and then attempted to use the pattern I found for 2x20. It worked!

    Why dont you all take a good look at the Fibonacci sequence and see if that helps

    Great idea. I think that It may be helpful. My colleague had also used Fibonacci sequence. He has also drew lots of pattern like 2 by 1 or 8.
