Kikku rabbit jumps on the 4th tile. He forgot where to jump next. Help him by drawing a circle on the next tiles. 1, 4, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
Pattern: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 Each number increases by 3 (adding 3 to the previous number).
Step 1: Start with 1
Step 2: Add 3 to get the next number: 1 + 3 = 4
Step 3: Continue adding 3: 4 + 3 = 7
Step 4: 7 + 3 = 10
Step 5: 10 + 3 = 13
Step 6: 13 + 3 = 16
Step 7: 16 + 3 = 19
Step 8: 19 + 3 = 22
Answer: Complete pattern: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22
Explanation
The chapter uses a rabbit jumping on tiles to teach number patterns. Kikku jumps on every 3rd tile starting from 1. The pattern is: 1, then 1+3=4, then 4+3=7, then 7+3=10, and so on. This helps children understand skip counting and arithmetic patterns.
