Reasoning with Shape Patterns Diagnostic Assessment

Front

What is a shape pattern?

Back

A shape pattern is a sequence of shapes that follow a specific rule or design, where each shape is related to the previous one in a consistent way.

Front

What does it mean when a shape increases by a certain number of blocks?

Back

It means that each subsequent shape in the pattern has more blocks than the previous shape, following a specific increment.

Front

If a shape pattern increases by 4 blocks each time, what would the next shape look like if the current shape has 8 blocks?

Back

The next shape would have 12 blocks (8 + 4 = 12).

Front

What does it mean when a shape pattern decreases by a certain number of blocks?

Back

It means that each subsequent shape in the pattern has fewer blocks than the previous shape, following a specific decrement.

Front

If a shape pattern decreases by 4 blocks each time, what would the next shape look like if the current shape has 16 blocks?

Back

The next shape would have 12 blocks (16 - 4 = 12).

Front

What is the significance of identifying patterns in shapes?

Back

Identifying patterns helps in predicting future shapes, understanding relationships, and solving problems related to sequences.

Front

What is an example of a shape pattern that increases and then changes?

Back

An example is a pattern that increases by 4 blocks and then by 8 blocks, such as 4, 8, 12, 20.

Front

How can you determine which pattern does not belong in a group?

Back

You can determine this by comparing the rules of each pattern and identifying any that do not follow the same increment or decrement.

Front

What is a practical application of shape patterns in real life?

Back

Shape patterns can be used in art, architecture, and design to create visually appealing structures and designs.

Front

How many toothpicks will Suri use on Day 6 if she follows a specific pattern?

Back

Suri will use 19 toothpicks on Day 6.
