Analogies

Adding On: Plus Two Analogies

Pupils learn how analogy puzzles work by spotting that two symbols are added in both example pairs, then applying the same change to complete the last pair.

Analogies

Count and Shade

Pupils find a one-step change in shading through outline, solid, stripes and dots, and a one-step change in the number of small dots through 1 to 4, and apply both to the final figure.

Analogies

Inside Out: Swapping Inner and Outer

Pupils spot that the inner and outer shapes swap roles, with the new outer shape drawn as a large outline and the new inner shape as a small solid, and apply the swap to the last pair.

Age 8+

Analogies

Pupils recognise a reflection across a vertical mirror line, where left and right swap but top and bottom stay the same, and apply it to the whole final figure including its dot.

Analogies

Pupils find three changes shown in both example pairs, drawn from direction, marker position, shading and dot count, and apply all three to the final figure.

Age 10+

Analogies

Turn and Fill

Pupils find two changes in both example pairs, a quarter-turn clockwise or anticlockwise and a change of fill to solid, and apply both to the final symbol.
