Growing Patterns: Princess Ruby's Block Towers

In Princess Ruby’s playroom, the toy blocks are built into towers that grow a little at every step. Each tower has 2 more blocks than the one before, like a staircase.

Remember: In a growing pattern, find how much is added at each step. Towers of 2, 4, 6, 8 blocks add 2 each step, so step 5 has 10 blocks.

Magic trick: Make a little table: step 1, step 2, step 3… and write the blocks under each. Then just keep adding the same jump until you reach the step you need.
