Count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1000 2 - Reasoning

In a mathematical reasoning task focused on number and place value, students are presented with a scenario involving incrementally increasing quantities. The exercise requires students to determine whether a character named Tia has correctly completed her job of filling boxes with caps. Each box must contain exactly six more caps than the previous one. This patterned task is designed to test students' understanding of sequences and their ability to count in multiples, as well as to check for accuracy in number placement and value.

Upon reviewing Tia's work, it becomes evident that she has made an error. The second box in the sequence contains only 17 caps, which is one short of the correct number. For Tia to have completed her job correctly, the second box should have contained 18 caps, adhering to the rule that each subsequent box has six more caps than the one before it. This mistake highlights the importance of careful calculation and the application of number patterns in practical situations. Students are encouraged to identify and correct such errors, thereby enhancing their problem-solving and reasoning skills in the context of number and place value.
