Question types: Complete the table
Rule: Tables of relationships
Find the rule that turns the top number into the bottom one (times, plus) and check it in every column.
Example: 1 → 4, 2 → 8, 3 → 12: always × 4, so 5 → 20
Watch out: If it grows by the same step but does not start at zero, it is plus, not times: 0 → 5, 1 → 8, 2 → 11.
