You’ll often need to count things
Number of sides in each figure is same but, they all have different number of dots in them.
Tip: For some figures, it will be obvious what you should count.
You’ll often need to count things
These figures look very different but have same number of sides - 6.
Tip: For some figures, it will be less obvious what you should count.
You might have to add or subtract
As can be seen, the number of sides in each consecutive figure is increasing by 1.
Tip: Keep track of all the number of different elements in each figure.
Equal Numbers of Different Objects could be Important
The sum of the number of pluses and dots equals to the number of sides.
Tip: Add different elemnets together to see if their total is equal to the number of another element.
Counting is Important in Series Questions
The number of sides in each figure is incresing by one in each consecutive figure, but the number of dots is decreasing by one.
Tip: You will often have to add or subtract for series questions.
