- 1) 6 sticks
- 2) 25 sticks
- 3) Term 7
- 4) No, because the number of sticks for each term is always a multiple of 5 (5, 10, 15, 20...), and 51 is not a multiple of 5.
- 5) 34 sticks
- 6) No, because the number of white tiles follows the pattern 4, 8, 12, 16..., which are all multiples of 4. Since 19 is not a multiple of 4, it cannot be the number of white tiles in any term.
- 7) 78 dots
- 8) This pattern grows by adding one square to the end of the previous shape, creating a continuous path or staircase. The other patterns grow by adding a complete new unit (like a house, hexagon, or cross) next to the previous one, often sharing sides or vertices.
