Let’s solve the middle worksheet — “Counting by 5s” with the frog and lake.
We need to count by 5s, starting from 5, and color the path that goes:
5 → 10 → 15 → 20 → 25 → 30 → 35 → 40 → 45 → 50 → 55 → 60 → 65 → 70 → 75 → 80
Now let’s find those numbers in the grid and trace the path.
Grid (row by row):
Row 1: [empty] | 5 | 10 | 11 | 78
→ Start at
5, then go to
10
Row 2: 9 | 23 | 24 | 15 | 20 | 25
→ From 10, next is
15, then
20, then
25
Row 3: 17 | 50 | 45 | 40 | 35 | 30
→ After 25, we need
30 → it’s here! Then
35, then
40, then
45, then
50
Wait — but 50 appears twice? Let’s check order.
After 25 → next should be 30 → yes, in row 3, last column.
Then 35 → row 3, second from right.
Then 40 → row 3, fourth from left.
Then 45 → row 3, third from left.
Then 50 → row 3, second from left.
But wait — after 50, we need 55.
Row 4: 60 | 55 | 66 | 41 | 50 | 58
→ Here’s
55 (second column). Also another 50 — ignore that one.
So from 50 (row 3) → go down to 55 (row 4)
Then next is 60 → row 4, first column.
Then 65 → row 5, first column.
Row 5: 65 | 70 | 75 | 80 | [lake picture]
Perfect! So:
From 60 → 65 → 70 → 75 → 80 → and then the lake!
Let’s list the full correct path in order:
Start at top:
5 (row1, col2)
→
10 (row1, col3)
→
15 (row2, col4)
→
20 (row2, col5)
→
25 (row2, col6)
→
30 (row3, col6)
→
35 (row3, col5)
→
40 (row3, col4)
→
45 (row3, col3)
→
50 (row3, col2) ← this is the first 50
→
55 (row4, col2)
→
60 (row4, col1)
→
65 (row5, col1)
→
70 (row5, col2)
→
75 (row5, col3)
→
80 (row5, col4)
→ Then to the lake (next to 80)
All these numbers are multiples of 5 and in order.
No wrong turns — every step increases by exactly 5.
Final Answer:
The correct path is: 5 → 10 → 15 → 20 → 25 → 30 → 35 → 40 → 45 → 50 → 55 → 60 → 65 → 70 → 75 → 80 → Lake
