Work out where the pieces land after a fold, cut or stack.
In this one. A repeating pattern continues its attribute cycle in the same order.
Words like 'folded', 'cut along the dotted line' or 'stacked' appear beside a shape, and the question asks for a length or angle that only makes sense once the pieces are in their new positions.
Children try to calculate the answer before working out where the pieces actually end up, skipping the visualisation step that the whole question depends on.
