Welcome back to school!  One student got on the school bus at the first bus stop. Two students got on the bus at the second stop and four students got on at the third stop.  At the fourth stop, eight students got on the bus.   If the pattern continues, how many students are on the bus after the fifth stop?
Show your work.














For 4th and 5th graders:  If the pattern was tripling each time, how many students would be on the bus after the fifth stop?
