            o  Write  what you  think will  happen  and  why.












                  This  is  what Gareth  thinks:

                                My  guess  is  that after thirty-six
                                goes  you  will  colour  the  same
                                number of squares  blue  and  yellow.

            o  Follow  the  rules  and  colour  the  grid.


























            o  Compare your  results  with what you  thought would happen.
