In the Paper Folding subtest, a flat sheet is folded and then what is done before unfolding?
Answer: One or more holes are punched through it
Holes are punched through the folded paper, and you predict the unfolded hole pattern.
A single hole punched through two folded layers will produce how many holes when unfolded?
Answer: 2
Each layer the punch passes through becomes one hole, so two layers give two holes.
When unfolded, the punched holes are arranged symmetrically about what?
Answer: The fold lines (creases)
Holes mirror across each fold line, producing symmetry about the creases.
If a paper is folded in half twice (into quarters) and one hole is punched, how many holes appear unfolded?
Answer: 4
Two folds create four layers, so one punch yields four holes.
In the Cube Counting subtest, the figure is a stack of cubes that has been what?
Answer: Painted on every exposed face except the bottom
By convention every exposed surface is painted except the bottom resting on the table.
A cube located in the interior of the stack, hidden on all sides, has how many painted faces?
Answer: 0
A fully enclosed cube has no exposed surfaces, so zero faces are painted.
In the 3D Form Development (Pattern Folding) subtest, a flat pattern is folded to form what?
Answer: A three-dimensional solid object
The unfolded pattern is mentally folded along its edges to create a 3D figure.
