Task

Hello Agent

There are 100 students in this particular classroom. The ruler bandit has already struck 10 student desks. Luckily for us, the bandit seems to be attacking students desks in a pattern. You must figure out the pattern inorder to stop the bandit and save the rest of the students! Only the correct pattern will save us from the bandit!!!!!

In order to solve this case, my team has gathered some important information for you to use:

The desks are arranged in a 10 by 10 square. It might be best if we use a 100's chart for this case!

Go through the process to find out the pattern and the pattern rules!

Do not forget to fill out your paper copies of your misssion. Your Colleagues will be expecting a full report on the case.
