Number Series
Look at the beads on each rod. The bead amounts follow a pattern. Which rod belongs in the empty place?
Need help?
Start with the numbers you can see: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
The same add 1 step appears between neighboring numbers.
Use this idea at the empty place: The same add 1 step appears between neighboring numbers.
A helpful way to think
Each number changes by the same amount: add 1. The same add 1 step appears between neighboring numbers. At the blank, add 1. The missing number is 7.
Number Puzzles
How many are in the other container?
Need help?
Look closely: The original group has 8.
Start with the whole and the part you can see. Count what is still needed.
Keep this clue in mind when you choose: The original group has 8.
A helpful way to think
Start with the whole and the part you can see. Count what is still needed. The other container has 6, because 2 and 6 make 8.
Figure Matrices
The first picture changes into the next picture. Which answer shows the same change?
Need help?
Look at the top pair: the picture stays the same
Make that same change to the bottom picture.
Choose the picture that shows the same change.
A helpful way to think
In the top row, the picture stays the same. Do the same thing to the bottom picture. Figure A is correct because it shows one large solid triangle.
Paper Folding
Look at how the paper is folded. Then a hole is punched through the folded paper. Which answer shows how the paper will look when it is opened all the way?
Static fold sequence
Need help?
Find the up-and-down dashed fold line. The paper folds from right to left, and the little square is away from the up-and-down crease.
The little square is away from the crease. When you open it, look for a matching little square the same distance on the other side.
Imagine opening the paper flat. The little square needs a matching little square the same distance across the up-and-down fold line.
A helpful way to think
The paper was folded from right to left. The little square was made away from the crease. The little square went through 2 layers at that spot. That gives 2 visible holes when the paper is all the way open.
