Size progression

One figure grows or shrinks by a fixed amount in each panel.

Understanding this pattern

Compare the same figure across panels and measure its change in width or radius. The number of figures stays the same; the figure itself changes size. Track fill separately when it also cycles.

How to spot it

  • One figure steadily changes size across the sequence
  • Its shape and centre stay fixed while its edge moves
  • Fill may follow a separate repeating cycle

Common traps

  • Counting figures instead of comparing their sizes
  • Choosing the right size with the wrong fill
  • Assuming growth when the figure is shrinking
