A staircase has one more block per row than the row below, starting with 1 block in row 1. How many total blocks are in the first 5 rows?
Answer: 15
Total blocks = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15, following the triangular number formula n(n+1)/2.
How many small unit cubes make up a 3×3×3 larger cube?

A 3×3×3 cube contains 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 individual unit cubes.
A pattern alternates between a circle and a triangle starting with a circle. What is the 7th shape in the sequence?
Answer: Circle
Odd-numbered positions (1, 3, 5, 7) are circles and even-numbered positions are triangles, so the 7th shape is a circle.
A tiling pattern repeats every 4 tiles in the order: red, blue, green, yellow. What color is the 18th tile?
Answer: Blue
18 ÷ 4 = 4 remainder 2, so the 18th tile matches position 2 in the cycle, which is blue.
A rectangle is divided into 8 equal parts and 3 parts are shaded. What fraction of the rectangle is unshaded?
Answer: 5/8
If 3 out of 8 parts are shaded, then 8 − 3 = 5 parts are unshaded, giving an unshaded fraction of 5/8.
In a sequence where each shape has one more side than the previous — triangle, square, pentagon — what comes next?
