The method

Spot the rule — “find the part that repeats, or the jump between two numbers, and keep going”

  1. Look at two numbers next to each other to find the jump.
  2. Jumping up: add the jump. Jumping down: take it away.
  3. For a picture or colour pattern, find the smallest part that repeats.

Use it for: Skip counting, beads and rangoli designs, and the patterns chapter of Class 1 maths.

Worked example: Find the missing number: 5, 10, ?, 20, 25 → 15

  1. The numbers go up by 5 each time.
  2. 10 + 5 = 15.

Check: 15 + 5 = 20, the next number ✓
