NCERT Solutions for Class 2 Joyful Maths Chapter 04 Shadow Story

Question. Do a role-play by making the shadows of different animals and creating their sounds.
Answer: Students should create hand shadows of various animals like rabbits, dogs, birds, and others on a wall or surface using a light source. Each student can make the shadow shape and also produce the sound that the animal makes - for example, a dog barks, a bird chirps, a cow moos, and so on. This helps children understand how shadows form and also makes learning about animals fun and interactive.
In simple words: Use your hands and a light to make animal shapes on a wall. Make the sounds those animals make too.

Exam Tip: Teachers often look for creativity and correct animal identification - try making at least 3-4 different animal shadows and match the right sound to each one.

Question A. Have you seen your own shadow or the shadow of a tree, a dog, a cow or any other animal?
Answer: Yes, I have seen shadows of many things around me. I can see my own shadow on the ground when the sun shines on me. I have also noticed shadows of trees, dogs, cows, and other animals on sunny days. Shadows appear as dark shapes on the ground or on a surface when light falls on objects.
In simple words: You can see shadows everywhere. Your shadow, animal shadows, and tree shadows show up when sunlight hits them.

Exam Tip: Answer by giving real examples from your daily life - mention at least one object and one animal shadow you have observed.

Question B. When do we see a shadow?
Answer: A shadow appears when light strikes an object. The shadow forms on the side opposite to where the light is coming from. If there is no light, there can be no shadow. So shadows happen whenever light hits something that is not see-through.
In simple words: A shadow shows up when light falls on something. The shadow is on the side away from the light.

Exam Tip: Remember that light is always needed to make a shadow - no light means no shadow.

Question C. When does a shadow vanish?
Answer: A shadow goes away when the light source stops shining. If you turn off the torch, lamp, or if the sun sets, the shadow will disappear because there is no longer light to make it.
In simple words: The shadow goes away when the light stops shining on the object.

Exam Tip: The key point examiners want is that light must be present for a shadow to exist - without light, shadow cannot be seen.

Question A. Will the size of shadows change on changing the position of the torch?
Answer: Yes, the size and position of a shadow will change when you move the torch. If you bring the torch closer to an object, the shadow gets bigger. If you move the torch away, the shadow becomes smaller. The direction of the shadow also shifts based on where the light source is placed.
In simple words: When you move the light closer or farther away, the shadow grows bigger or smaller.

Exam Tip: Examiners expect you to know that shadow size depends on the distance between the light and the object - the closer the light, the bigger the shadow.

Question B. At what time of the day is your shadow longest?
Answer: Your shadow is longest in the early morning and in the evening. During these times, the sun is low in the sky, so it casts long shadows on the ground. At noon, when the sun is high above, shadows are at their shortest.
In simple words: Your shadow is longest early in the morning and in the evening when the sun is low.

Exam Tip: Remember that shadow length depends on the sun's position - low sun means long shadow, high sun means short shadow.

Question C. At what time of the day is your shadow shortest?
Answer: Your shadow is shortest at noon. At this time, the sun is directly above you in the sky, so the shadow falls straight down and appears very small on the ground.
In simple words: At noon, when the sun is straight above, your shadow is very short.

Exam Tip: Noon is the key time when shadows are shortest because the sun is at its highest position.

Question. Trace the shape of the objects around you. For example, eraser, leaf, matchbox, sharpener, pencil colour, etc.
Answer: You can trace the outline of different objects by placing them on paper and drawing around their edges. For example, you can trace an eraser, a leaf, a matchbox, a sharpener, and a pencil. Each object will show a different outline shape - the eraser might show a rectangular outline, a leaf will show its natural shape with curved edges, and a coin will show a circular outline.
In simple words: Draw around the edge of different objects to see their shapes.

Exam Tip: Teachers look for accurate tracing and proper identification of each object's shape.

Question. Write the names of objects that have the same trace as:
A. Bottle cap
Answer: Coin, Bottle, Pipe
B. Eraser
Answer: Matchbox, Book, Chocolate

They all are playing together now.
A. Circle can hide in the clock, ball, orange, trophy.
B. Rectangle can hide in the shoe box, photo frame, speaker, book.
C. But Triangle and Square are confused and wonder where to hide now. Suggest them some places where they can hide.
Answer:
i. Triangle can hide in samosa, flask.
ii. Square can hide in TV, dice.
In simple words: Different shapes are found in many everyday objects around us. Circles hide in round things, rectangles hide in boxy things, triangles hide in pointed things, and squares hide in things that look like a box.

Exam Tip: This tests shape recognition in real objects - try to name at least two objects for each shape.

Question. Colour the Carpet
Colour the Triangles red. Colour the Circles green. Colour the Rectangles yellow. Colour the Squares blue.
Answer: Follow the colour instructions shown in the answer diagram. Paint all triangles red, all circles green, all rectangles yellow, and all squares blue to complete the carpet design.
In simple words: Use the right colours to paint each shape - red for triangles, green for circles, yellow for rectangles, and blue for squares.

Exam Tip: Make sure you colour all shapes of the same type with the same colour and stay inside the lines neatly.

Question. Make your own design with different shapes and colour them.
Answer: Create your own unique design using different shapes like diamonds, circles, rectangles, and triangles. You can arrange them in rows or patterns and then colour them with bright, attractive colours. Your design can have different shapes in different sections with different colour combinations - for example, red diamonds, yellow and blue triangles in the middle, and green and yellow rectangles at the top and bottom.
In simple words: Draw your own pattern using different shapes and then colour it nicely using many colours.

Exam Tip: Examiners reward creativity and neatness - use a variety of shapes and colours to make your design look attractive and well-organised.

Question. Look at the picture and answer the following questions. A. Name the children standing near the corners of the table. B. Can you tell who will clap next? C. Where is Wasim standing? D. Can this game be played around a round table? Why or why not? E. Name the objects around us that have straight edges. F. Many objects around us have curved edges. Some are shown below. Explore and share the names of such objects that you see around.
Answer:
A. Paramjeet, Udit, Naysa and Seema are standing near the corners of the table.
B. Wasim will clap next.
C. Wasim is standing beside the edge of the table.
D. This game cannot be played around a round table because a round table has no corners where children can stand.
E. House, book, mobile, desktop, TV, table and gate are objects with straight edges.
F. Bowl, bucket, coin, fan, oranges and bulb are objects with curved edges.
In simple words: Some objects have corners and straight sides - like tables and books. Other objects are round or curved - like balls and plates. Corners are found on square and rectangular things, while round things have curved edges everywhere.

Exam Tip: Remember that corners exist only on objects with straight edges - round and curved objects have no corners. Give real examples from your classroom.

Question A. How many corners do objects with curved edges have?
Answer: Zero
In simple words: Curved objects like balls and plates have no corners at all.

Exam Tip: A key fact to remember - any object that is round or curved has zero corners.

Question B. Name the objects that have both straight and curved edges?
Answer: Bucket, Glass, Pencil
In simple words: Some objects are both straight and curved - like a bucket has a curved side but a straight bottom and top.

Exam Tip: Look for objects that have at least one straight side and one curved side.

Question. Origami Fun! A. Take a paper and fold it to make it a square. B. It has 4 corners and 4 edges. C. Fold it in half by joining two corners as shown in the picture. D. Tick the shape which you get. (i. Circle, ii. Square, iii. Triangle) E. This shape has 3 corners and 3 edges. F. Fold the paper again into half to get a triangle and then unfold it. G. Now make two triangles from two corners of the triangle. H. How many corners are there now? I. Fold the third corner upwards and make the nose and eyes as shown. Your paper dog is ready!
Answer:
A. Take a paper and fold it to make it a square.
B. It has 4 corners and 4 edges.
C. Fold it in half by joining two corners as shown in the picture.
D. Tick the shape which you get. (iii. Triangle) is correct.
E. This shape has 3 corners and 3 edges.
F. Fold the paper again into half to get a triangle and then unfold it.
G. Now make two triangles from two corners of the triangle.
H. How many corners are there now? 10
I. Fold the third corner upwards and make the nose and eyes as shown. Your paper dog is ready!
In simple words: By folding paper, you can make different shapes. Start with a square, fold it to get a triangle, then fold again and make more triangles. Finally, add features like a nose and eyes to make it look like a dog.

Exam Tip: Follow each step carefully - the key is to count corners correctly after each fold. Most students forget to recount after creating the two small triangles.

Question. Patterns - A. Make designs by stamping objects having different shapes like - bottle caps, erasers, pencils, coins, etc.
Answer: Use different objects to create stamp patterns on paper. When you stamp a bottle cap, you get a circular print. When you stamp an eraser, you get a rectangular print. Coins give circular prints, and pencils can make line prints. Mix all these different prints to make an interesting pattern design on your paper.
In simple words: Press different objects on paper with ink or paint to make patterns. Each object makes a different shape print.

Exam Tip: Use at least 3-4 different objects to create variety in your pattern design.

Question. B. Radha is applying mehandi on her hands. You can also trace your hand to make a mehandi pattern or design.
Answer: Trace the outline of your hand on paper. Then, draw mehandi designs inside the hand outline using patterns, lines, flowers, and decorative shapes. You can make dots, curves, leaves, and other traditional mehandi patterns. Finally, colour your design with colours like red, brown, or black to make it look like real mehandi on your hand.
In simple words: Outline your hand and then draw pretty mehandi designs inside it using patterns and colours.

Exam Tip: Pay attention to the symmetry of your design - mehandi usually looks the same on both sides of the hand.

Question. Nitya is playing with leaves and making patterns. Now you also collect some leaves and make a pattern. Paint one side of the leaf and print it on the space given below.
Answer: Collect different leaves from outside and arrange them to create a repeating pattern. Paint one side of each leaf with colour. Press the painted side onto paper to make leaf prints. Arrange these prints in a line or in a design to form a nice pattern. You can use leaves of different sizes to make your pattern more interesting.
In simple words: Pick leaves, paint one side, and stamp them on paper to make a pattern.

Exam Tip: The pattern should show clear repetition - the same leaf print should appear again and again in order.

Answer: 🟨 🟥 🟨 🟥 🟨 🟥 🟨 🟥 🟨 🟥 🟨 🟥 🟨
In simple words: Look at what comes first, then what repeats, and keep writing or drawing that pattern until the line is full.

Exam Tip: Identify the repeating part of the pattern first - then keep extending it the same way. Count carefully to make sure your extension matches the rule.

Question. 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, _____, _____, _____, _____, _____. Kikku's mother also jumps on the 6th tile. Help her by putting a ✕ on the next tiles. 1, 6, 11, _____, _____, _____, _____
Answer: For Kikku: The pattern is adding 3 each time. So after 1, 4, the next numbers are: 7, 10, 13, 16, 19. For Kikku's mother: The pattern is adding 5 each time. So after 1, 6, 11, the next numbers are: 16, 21, 26, 31.
In simple words: Find out how much is being added each time. For Kikku, each jump adds 3 tiles. For his mother, each jump adds 5 tiles. Keep adding the same amount to find the next tiles.

Exam Tip: Always find the difference between the first two numbers given - that difference is what gets added each time to find the next number in the pattern.

Question. 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, _7_, _10_, _13_, _16_, _19_, _22_.
Answer: The pattern adds 3 to each number. After 4, the next tiles are: 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22. Each jump moves forward by the same amount (3 tiles) from the one before it.
In simple words: Count up by 3 each time. Start at 4, then jump to 7, then to 10, and keep going like that.

Exam Tip: Look for the difference between the first and second number - this tells you how much to add each time to find the next number in the pattern.

Question. Kikku's mother also jumps on the 6th tile. Help her by putting a circle on the next tiles.
1, 6, _11_, _16_, _21_, _26_, _31_, _36_.
Answer: The pattern adds 5 to each number. Starting from 1, the next tiles are: 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36. Each jump increases by 5 from the previous tile.
In simple words: Count up by 5 each time. Start at 1, then jump to 6, then to 11, and carry on like that.

Exam Tip: Find the gap between numbers to understand the rule - once you know it jumps by 5, you can fill in any missing tile in the sequence.

Question. Extend the following number patterns.
A. 5, 10, 15, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
B. 7, 14, 21, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
C. 1, 7, 13, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
Answer:
A. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 - Each number grows by 5.
B. 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 - Each number grows by 7.
C. 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, 31, 37, 43 - Each number grows by 6.
In simple words: Find how much each number increases by, then keep adding that same amount to find the next numbers.

Exam Tip: Always check the difference between the first two numbers - this difference tells you the rule for the whole pattern.

Question. Do a role-play by making the shadows of different animals and creating their sounds.
Answer: You can use your hands and a light source to make animal shadows on a wall. Move your hands in different ways to form shapes that look like various animals - a rabbit, a dog, a bird, or others. As you make each shadow shape, try to copy the sounds that animal makes. This is a fun way to learn about both shadows and animals at the same time.
In simple words: Use your hands to make animal shapes on a wall using a light. Then make the sounds those animals make.

Exam Tip: For role-play activities, show clear hand movements and try to match the animal sounds closely - creativity and effort are usually what teachers look for in these activities.

Question A. Have you seen your own shadow or the shadow of a tree, a dog, a cow or any other animal?
Answer: Yes, everyone sees shadows in their daily life. You can see your own shadow on the ground when the sun shines on you. Trees, dogs, cows, and many other living and non-living things also make shadows. Shadows appear all around us whenever light falls on something.
In simple words: Shadows are everywhere. You can see your shadow, and you can see the shadows of animals and trees too.

Exam Tip: When answering observation-based questions, mention specific examples from your everyday life - this shows you understand the concept clearly.

Question B. When do we see a shadow?
Answer: A shadow forms when light hits an object and is blocked by it. The shadow appears on the other side of where the light is coming from.
In simple words: A shadow shows up when light hits something. The shadow is always on the side away from the light.

Exam Tip: The key idea is that shadows need both light and an object - without either one, there is no shadow.

Question C. When does a shadow vanish?
Answer: A shadow goes away when the light that created it stops shining. Once the light source is removed or turned off, the shadow no longer exists.
In simple words: No light means no shadow. If the light goes away, the shadow disappears too.

Exam Tip: Remember that shadows are directly caused by light - removing light is the only way to make a shadow vanish.

Question A. Will the size of shadows change on changing the position of the torch?
Answer: Yes, shadows change both in size and in where they appear when you move the light source. How far the light is from the object and which direction it comes from both affect the shadow's appearance.
In simple words: If you move the light closer or farther, or to a different side, the shadow gets bigger, smaller, or moves to a new spot.

Exam Tip: Try to explain both size changes and position changes in your answer - examiners like to see that you understand both effects.

Question B. At what time of the day is your shadow longest?
Answer: Your shadow is longest in the early morning hours and again in the evening when the sun is low in the sky.
In simple words: When the sun is near the horizon at sunrise or sunset, your shadow stretches out long. At noon, it is very short.

Exam Tip: Use the angle of the sun to explain why shadows are longer when the sun is low - this shows understanding of the science behind it.

Question C. At what time of the day is your shadow shortest?
Answer: Your shadow is shortest at noon, when the sun is directly overhead or nearly overhead in the sky.
In simple words: At midday, when the sun is high up, your shadow becomes very short.

Exam Tip: Noon questions often test whether students understand how sun height affects shadow length - shorter sun angle equals shorter shadow.

Question. Trace the shape of the objects around you. For example, eraser, leaf, matchbox, sharpener, pencil colour, etc.
Answer: You can draw the outline or shape of any object by placing a piece of paper over it and rubbing a pencil over the paper. This creates a traced copy of that object's outline. You can trace many different items such as an eraser, a leaf, a matchbox, a pencil, a sharpener, or a bottle cap, and each one will make a different shape.
In simple words: Place an object under paper and rub over it with pencil. The pencil marks show the shape of that object.

Exam Tip: When tracing, press the pencil firmly and evenly to get a clear outline - a dark, complete trace is better than a faint or incomplete one.

Question. Write the names of objects that have the same trace as:
A. Bottle cap
B. Eraser
Answer: A. Coin, Bottle, Pipe - these items have round or circular traces like a bottle cap.
B. Matchbox, Book, Chocolate - these items have rectangular or square traces like an eraser.
In simple words: Objects with the same shape leave the same kind of trace. Round things trace as circles. Rectangular things trace as rectangles.

Exam Tip: Look at the overall outline shape, not the size - a small coin and a large wheel both make circular traces.

Question. They all are playing together now.
A. Circle can hide in the clock, ball, orange, trophy.
B. Rectangle can hide in the shoe box, photo frame, speaker, book.
C. But Triangle and Square are confused and wonder where to hide now. Suggest them some places where they can hide.
(i) Triangle can hide in samosa, flask.
(ii) Square can hide in TV, dice.
Answer: A. Circle can hide in the clock, ball, orange, trophy - all these objects have round shapes.
B. Rectangle can hide in the shoe box, photo frame, speaker, book - all these objects have four-sided rectangular shapes.
C. Triangle and Square have many places to hide:
(i) Triangle can hide in samosa, flask - these have pointed or triangular forms.
(ii) Square can hide in TV, dice - these have four equal sides and square shapes.
In simple words: Different shapes are found in different objects all around you. Circles hide in balls. Rectangles hide in boxes. Triangles hide in samosas. Squares hide in dice and TVs.

Exam Tip: When matching shapes to objects, think about the main outline or face of each object - that is what matters most.

Question. Colour the Carpet
Colour the Triangles red.
Colour the Circles green.
Colour the Rectangles yellow.
Colour the Squares blue.
Answer: The carpet design has been coloured as follows:
- All triangles are coloured red
- All circles are coloured green
- All rectangles are coloured yellow
- All squares are coloured blue
In simple words: Each shape gets its own colour. Red for triangles, green for circles, yellow for rectangles, and blue for squares.

Exam Tip: Make sure your colours stay inside the lines and cover the whole shape - neat colouring is an important part of the marks.

Question. Make your own design with different shapes and colour them.
Answer: You can create your own design by drawing different shapes - triangles, circles, rectangles, and squares - and arranging them in a pleasing pattern. Then colour each shape with bright, different colours. You might make borders with one type of shape and fill the middle with another. The design below shows an example using diamonds, triangles, circles, and rectangles in various colours arranged to make an attractive pattern.
In simple words: Draw shapes you like, arrange them in a nice way, and use bright colours to make it look pretty.

Exam Tip: Show variety in your design - use different shapes and at least 4 - 5 different colours. Symmetry and balance make designs look better.

Question. Look at the picture and answer the following questions.
A. Name the children standing near the corners of the table.

E. House, book, mobile, desktop, TV, table and gate are objects with straight edges.
F. Bowl, bucket, coin, fan, oranges and bulb are objects with curved edges.
In simple words: Rectangles and squares have straight edges. Circles and spheres have curved edges. You can find both types of shapes in things around your home and school.

Exam Tip: When listing objects, think about items you see and use every day - this helps you give better examples.

Question A. How many corners do objects with curved edges have?
Answer: Objects with curved edges have zero corners.
In simple words: Things that are round have no corners at all.

Exam Tip: A corner is a point where two straight edges meet - curves do not have corners.

Question B. Name the objects that have both straight and curved edges?
Answer: Bucket, Glass, Pencil - these objects have both straight and curved edges together.
In simple words: Some things have curves on one part and straight sides on another part.

Exam Tip: Look carefully at the whole object - sometimes the top or bottom is curved while the middle part is straight.

In simple words: When you fold paper, the shape changes. A square becomes a triangle when you fold it. Keep folding and you can create fun things like a paper dog.

Exam Tip: For origami questions, follow each step carefully - the final answer depends on completing each fold correctly.

Question. Patterns - Make designs by stamping objects having different shapes like bottle caps, erasers, pencils, coins, etc.
Answer: You can press different objects onto paint or ink pads and then stamp them onto paper to create patterns. Using items like bottle caps, erasers, pencils, and coins will give you different shapes and designs. You can arrange these stamps in rows, circles, or other arrangements to make attractive patterns on your paper.
In simple words: Dip objects into paint and press them on paper to make prints. Use different objects to get different shapes and make a nice pattern.

Exam Tip: Press down firmly and evenly when stamping - a good, clear print requires steady pressure.

Question B. Radha is applying mehandi on her hands. You can also trace your hand to make a mehandi pattern or design.
Answer: You can place your hand on paper and trace around its outline to make the shape. Then you can decorate the traced hand shape with mehandi patterns using markers or colours. Draw lines, dots, and traditional mehandi designs on the hand outline to create a beautiful mehandi pattern like the one shown in the picture.
In simple words: Trace your hand, then draw mehandi designs and patterns on it using markers or colours.

Exam Tip: Mehandi patterns often use lines, dots, and traditional designs - try to include these elements in your traced hand.

Question. Nitya is playing with leaves and making patterns.
Answer: Nitya has created a pattern with leaves arranged in a repeating sequence. Each group shows leaves placed together to form a design. The pattern shows how leaves of the same size and shape are grouped and repeated to make an interesting arrangement on a yellow background.
In simple words: A pattern is made when you repeat the same group of leaves over and over. This makes the pattern look nice and organized.

Exam Tip: When creating patterns with natural objects like leaves, try to repeat the same arrangement regularly - this is what makes it a clear pattern.

Question. Now you also collect some leaves and make a pattern. Paint one side of the leaf and print it on the space given below.
Answer: You can gather leaves from outside and paint the back side of each leaf using different colours. Then press the painted leaf onto paper to print its shape. Repeat this with different leaves to create a pattern on the paper. Each leaf will leave a printed mark showing its shape and texture.
In simple words: Paint a leaf and press it on paper to make a print. Keep doing this with more leaves to make a pattern.

Exam Tip: Use enough paint on the leaf so the print is clear and visible - too little paint gives a faint mark.

Question. Extend the following patterns.
A. ↑↓↑↓ - continue with ↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓
B. ⚫●●●⚫●●●⚫●●●⚫●●● - continue the circle and flower pattern
C. Yellow and blue triangles with pink and blue rectangles - continue alternating the pattern
D. Squares with diagonal lines in different colours - continue with the pattern of alternating colour fills
E. Ovals with marks inside - continue the pattern of marks changing from one side to both sides
F. Triangle pattern - continue the repeating triangle design
G. Letters: AB BC CD DE EF - continue with the letter pattern
H. Letters: AA B C D EE F G H - continue extending the letter sequence
I. Coloured bars in yellow, brown, and red - continue the colour pattern across the line
Answer: A. ↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓ (alternating up and down arrows continue)
B. ⚫●●●⚫●●●⚫●●●⚫●●● (single circle followed by three flowers repeats)
C. The pattern of yellow and blue triangles with pink and blue rectangles continues repeating
D. The squares with diagonal lines continue in the same colour sequence
E. The ovals show marks progressing from one side to multiple sides continuing the pattern
F. The triangle pattern repeats in the same way
G. AB BC CD DE EF (each pair overlaps the first letter of the next pair)
H. AA B C D EE F G H (continuing with the same spacing and pattern)
I. The coloured bars in yellow, brown, and red repeat across the entire line
In simple words: Look at what comes first, then keep doing the same thing over and over. That is how you extend or continue a pattern.

Exam Tip: Before extending, carefully identify what repeats - whether it is colours, shapes, symbols, or letters - then continue that exact repeat.

Question. 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, _____, _____, _____, _____, _____.Kikku's mother also jumps on the 6th tile. Help her by putting a ⊗ on the next tiles. 1, 6, _____, _____, _____, _____.
Answer: For Kikku the rabbit: He jumps on tile 4 first, then he should jump on tile 7, then 10, then 13, then 16, then 19. Each jump is 3 tiles ahead. The pattern is: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19.
For Kikku's mother: She jumps on tile 6 first, then she should jump on tile 11, then 16, then 21, then 26, then 31. Each jump is 5 tiles ahead. The pattern is: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26.
In simple words: Look at the first two jumps to find the difference. Then keep adding that same difference to get the next jumps. Kikku adds 3 each time. His mother adds 5 each time.

Exam Tip: Always find the difference between the first two numbers given - this tells you the rule for continuing the pattern.

Shadow Story (Togalu)

Question. 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, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22.
Answer: The tiles Kikku should jump on are: 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22. Each tile comes 3 steps after the one before it. The pattern adds 3 every time to find the next tile.
In simple words: Look at the first numbers: 1, 4, 7. Each one is 3 more than the last one. Keep adding 3 to get the next tile numbers.

Exam Tip: Always find the difference between the first two numbers - this difference stays the same for the whole pattern.

Question. Kikku's mother also jumps on the 6th tile. Help her by putting a circle on the next tiles.
1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36.
Answer: The tiles for Kikku's mother are: 16, 21, 26, 31, 36. Each tile is 5 more than the tile before it. This pattern keeps adding 5 to find each new tile.
In simple words: The first numbers go up by 5 each time: 1, 6, 11. Just keep adding 5 to find the next tiles.

Exam Tip: Write down the difference between steps clearly - here it is 5 - and use it to extend the pattern correctly.
