Shape Transformation Series
Shape Transformation Series problems present a sequence where shapes change into different geometric forms. Common transformations include adding one side each step (triangle→square→pentagon→hexagon), changing from regular to star shapes, or alternating between shape families.

Prerequisites
How to Solve Shape Transformation Series Problems
Step 1: Identify the shape in each position (triangle, square, pentagon, etc.)
Step 2: Count the number of sides for each polygon
Step 3: Determine the pattern (e.g., add 1 side each step, add 2 sides, alternate)
Step 4: Apply the pattern to find the next shape
Step 5: Consider if shape orientation or fill also changes
Step 6: Select the figure with the correct shape
Example Problem
Example: Shapes: triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, ___. What comes next? Solution: Step 1: Triangle(3 sides), Square(4), Pentagon(5), Hexagon(6) Step 2: Pattern: add 1 side each step Step 3: Next shape has 7 sides = Heptagon Answer: Heptagon
