Let's solve the
"Skip Count by 10 on Caterpillar" problem step by step.
---
🔍 What is skip counting by 10?
Skip counting by 10 means adding 10 to the previous number each time.
For example:
5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145, 155, ...
So, we're looking for a sequence where each number increases by
10.

🐛 Caterpillar Path
We have a caterpillar made of circles (segments), and some numbers are already filled in:
- Start:
5
- Then:
15
- Later:
65
- Then:
95
- Finally:
155
We need to fill in the missing numbers by
counting up by 10s along the path.

✔ Step-by-step filling:
Start from
5, add 10 each time.
#### First segment:
- 5 → 15 →
25 →
35 →
45 →
55 →
65
So far, we have:
- 5, 15,
25,
35,
45,
55, 65
Now after
65, continue:
- 65 →
75 →
85 →
95
We see
95 is given, so that checks out.
Now from
95:
- 95 →
105 →
115 →
125 →
135 →
145 →
155
And
155 is given at the end — perfect!

🧩 Now let’s map it back to the caterpillar:
Let’s trace the segments in order:
1. Head:
5
2. Next:
15
3. Next:
25
4. Next:
35
5. Next:
45
6. Next:
55
7. Next:
65
8. Next:
75
9. Next:
85
10. Next:
95
11. Next:
105
12. Next:
115
13. Next:
125
14. Next:
135
15. Next:
145
16. Last:
155

✔ Final Answer: Fill in the blanks with these numbers:
From start to finish:
- 5, 15,
25,
35,
45,
55, 65,
75,
85, 95,
105,
115,
125,
135,
145, 155

📌 Summary:
All blank circles should be filled as follows (in order):
>
25, 35, 45, 55, 75, 85, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145
These complete the skip-counting-by-10 sequence from
5 to 155.
✔ The pattern is consistent and correct!
