CogAT Paper Folding Analysis 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A triangular flap is folded down over a square paper, then a hole is punched through both the flap and the sheet. When the flap is opened, how many holes show?
- 1
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- 4
Correct answer: 2
The punch passes through the flap and the sheet beneath, leaving two holes when opened.
Question 2: A paper is folded in half three times, then one hole is punched. How many holes appear when unfolded?
- 4
- 6
- 8 (Correct answer)
- 16
Correct answer: 8
Three folds make eight layers, so one punch creates eight holes.
Question 3: A square is folded diagonally corner to corner, and a hole is punched in the middle of the long folded edge. After unfolding, the hole lies on which line?
- The diagonal crease (Correct answer)
- A vertical edge
- The top edge
- A horizontal midline
Correct answer: The diagonal crease
Punching on the diagonal fold places the single hole directly on the diagonal crease line.
Question 4: After folding a paper in half and punching a hole, the pattern shows two holes symmetric about a horizontal line. Which fold was used?
- Top-to-bottom fold (Correct answer)
- Left-to-right fold
- Diagonal fold
- No fold
Correct answer: Top-to-bottom fold
Symmetry across a horizontal line indicates the crease was horizontal, meaning a top-to-bottom fold.
Question 5: A paper folded into quarters has a small bite cut from the outer corner (away from the center). How many notches appear when unfolded?
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 4
The outer corner of a quarter-folded sheet corresponds to all four corners, producing four notches.
Question 6: If unfolding a once-folded paper shows holes that nearly touch at the center, the punch was made:
- Very close to the fold line (Correct answer)
- Far from the fold line
- On a corner
- Through three layers
Correct answer: Very close to the fold line
Holes meeting near the center mean the original punch sat just beside the crease.
Question 7: A paper is folded in half left-to-right, then top-to-bottom, and one hole is punched in the inner corner where folds meet. When unfolded, the four holes form:
- A small cluster near the center (Correct answer)
- A line along one edge
- A single hole
- A wide ring near the corners
Correct answer: A small cluster near the center
Punching at the inner meeting corner places all four holes close together around the center.
