A pyramid of blocks is built in layers. The bottom layer has 6^2 or 36 blocks. The next layer is 5^2 or 25 blocks
and so on until the top layer has 1 block. How many blocks are there in all?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 6^2 =  = calculate it yourself.


1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + . . . + n^2 = .
