Number and Special Patterns

How the lesson starts: Number and Special Patterns

  1. Kip's number stones

    Hi friend! Meet Kip the kangaroo. Kip hops on number stones. 2, 4, 6, 8. Which stone comes next? Let's hop along with Kip!

  2. Hop by 2

    Here are Kip's stones. 2, 4, 6, 8. Watch the hops. Plus 2, plus 2, plus 2. One more hop. 8 + 2 = 10!

  3. Hop backward

    Sometimes Kip hops backward. 20, 17, 14, 11. Each hop goes back 3. The numbers get smaller. So next is 11 − 3 = 8! Watch out! Check every hop. Don't guess.
