Kikku's mother also jumps on the 6th tile. Help her by putting a × on the next tiles. 1, 6, 11, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
Pattern: Each number increases by 5 (adding 5 to the previous number).
Step 1: Start with 1
Step 2: Add 5 to get the next number: 1 + 5 = 6
Step 3: Continue adding 5: 6 + 5 = 11
Step 4: 11 + 5 = 16
Step 5: 16 + 5 = 21
Step 6: 21 + 5 = 26
Step 7: 26 + 5 = 31
Step 8: 31 + 5 = 36
Answer: The complete pattern is 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36
Explanation
Kikku's mother jumps on every 5th tile starting from 1. The pattern is: 1, then 1+5=6, then 6+5=11, then 11+5=16, and so on. This teaches children to recognize and continue arithmetic patterns with different skip counts.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Start with 1
Step 2: Add 5 to get the next number: 1 + 5 = 6
Step 3: Continue adding 5: 6 + 5 = 11
Step 4: 11 + 5 = 16
