Number Series
Look at the number pattern. Which number comes next?
Need help?
Start with the numbers you can see: 48, 50, 52, 54, 56.
The same add 2 step appears between neighboring numbers.
Use this idea at the empty place: The same add 2 step appears between neighboring numbers.
A helpful way to think
Each number changes by the same amount: add 2. The same add 2 step appears between neighboring numbers. At the blank, add 2. The missing number is 60.
Number Puzzles
Which expression has the same structure and value?
Need help?
Recognize a structure that preserves the same relationship.
Look for what stays true: One multiplier can be applied to each part of a grouped sum.
The same multiplier 5 applies to both 7 and 4.
Try this one: Keep the multiplier attached to every part inside the group.
A helpful way to think
Recognize a structure that preserves the same relationship. One multiplier can be applied to each part of a grouped sum. The same multiplier 5 applies to both 7 and 4. That creates (5 × 7) + (5 × 4). 5 × (7 + 4) is equivalent to (5 × 7) + (5 × 4). Strategy: Keep the multiplier attached to every part inside the group.
Figure Matrices
Look at how the first picture changes into the second picture. Which answer changes the bottom picture in the same way?
Need help?
Look at the top pair: the inside and outside shapes trade places
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 inside and outside shapes trade places. Do the same thing to the bottom picture. Figure A is correct because it shows a triangle inside a circle.
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?
Trace the horizontal crease: the paper folds from top to bottom, with the little square right on the dashed fold line.
This little square is on the fold line, so opening that crease keeps the mark centered on the line rather than creating a separate partner.
Trace the little square across the horizontal crease and choose the option that keeps the reflected marks in matching positions.
A helpful way to think
The paper was folded from top to bottom. The little square was made right on the crease. The hole is right on the folded edge, so those two sides open to the same place instead of making two separate holes. That gives 2 visible holes when the paper is all the way open.
