Toothpick Patterns and Relationships

The video tutorial introduces a challenge involving toothpicks and tiles, where students must create tile patterns with specific toothpick requirements. Initially, students are tasked with creating a pattern where the number of toothpicks is exactly double the number of tiles. The tutorial provides guidance on how to approach this problem, encouraging students to explore different tile arrangements. In the advanced challenge, students must create a pattern where the number of toothpicks exceeds double the number of tiles, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills.
