There may be more than one solution. Just be sure to explain your reasoning.

This blog is intended to be used by students in my math classes to discuss different mathematical concepts. The name of the blog suggests that one can accomplish more in the area of mathematics when they learn how to work with others.
How much time do you spend on homework each night?

I believe that only circle #3 would be shaded, because in the origional pattern, the shaded circle in position 5 moves counterclochwise two circles, while the shaded circle in position 1 moves counterclockwise only once, this patter continues untill the two land on the same position in figure 5
-Alex G.
I believe that in the next figure of the pattern, cirles #1 and #5 will be shaded, because as shown, each of the odd figures has been this way, therefore I believe that the next odd figure will remain the same.
Sorry, in the commet above I did not put my name.

I think that circle three will be the only one shaded because the shaded area that started on circle five always moved counterclockwise two spaces each time. The other shaded area, circle one, moved counterclockwise one space every time.
-Victoria Cox
I agree with Austin that #1 and #5 would be shaded because if you use another pattern say numbers it wuld look someting like this:
1,2,1,3...
so thus making it reasonable to say that the next figure would look like fig1 and fig3 and have the circles #1 and #5 shaded.
-eva kelly
I think that circles #2 and #4 will be shaded becaese one of the circles is moving counterclockwise by 2 andthe other by one so the answer would be 2 and 4

P.S. If I am wrong, then i will ask questions tomorrow :)(:
i think that if you were to continue the process you would get only 1 circle shaded because of the fact that only one circle moves

ljkiyMr.Cox can you delete my last comment? I looked over the question and found out that only circle #3 would be shaded. Thanks! : )( :

I think #1 and #5 would be shaded, because every other pattern seemed to be 1 and 5 PARKER

Well, I tried this, I thought #1 and #5 would be shaded. Then I asked my mom and she agreed with what Alex said. Then when she explained it to me I understood the rotation of the shaded circles.
