Find the pattern

What kids practice: Make sense of problems and keep at them (puzzles that need thinking, not a known method). Questions come at 5 levels and adjust as your child plays: three right in a row move up a level, and two misses in a row make them easier.
Problem Solvers: one of six ways to solve a problem you haven't seen before, the kind of thinking math contests build on. Each question comes with Digit's step-by-step help that walks through the strategy, not just the answer.
🔁 How it works
Look at the first few. Find what changes each time, then jump ahead.
Example: One table seats 4 people. Two tables pushed together seat 6, and three tables seat 8. How many people can sit at 10 tables pushed together in a row?
- Each new table adds 2 seats.
- After the first table, 9 more add 9 × 2 = 18 seats.
- 4 + 18 = 22
Answer: 22 people
