Figural (shape)analysis is often used in non-verbal cognitive ability tests to evaluate students’ spatial awareness, logical thinking, math reasoning and problem solving skills. Paper-folding or paper engineering is a form of figural analysis. In this book, the student is shown how a square-shaped piece of paper is folded and where holes, incisions, or other alterations are made. Complex diagrams involve multiple folds and intricate sequences and patterns. The student is to think about how the pattern will appear visually when the paper is folded and unfolded. This workbook is great practice for students testing for admissions into gifted program and academic centers.
