The SHSAT sometimes requires us to figure out the sum of consecutive numbers. Here is an example from the SHSAT Practic Test 5 (Old Format). Question 62. Given: n is an even integer and 10 < n < 19.

To calculate the mean, we can simply add the four values for n, and then divide that sum by 4. But, did you know that there is a method to find the mean that...
