Non-verbal reasoning: Reflection
Let’s try reflecting them in a vertical mirror line. What would the figure on the left look like when reflected along the vertical dotted mirror line?
Non-verbal reasoning: Rotating by 45º
Rotating a shape means turning it around a point by a certain angle, clockwise or counter-clockwise. Now we’re going to focus on a tricky rotation, 45º. It’s hard to identify, but it shows a movement of 1/8 of a complete turn. How would the figure on the left look when rotated by 45º clockwise?
Non-verbal reasoning: Rotating by 180°
Shapes can be rotated in any direction, clockwise or anti-clockwise, by turning the shape around a point by a certain angle. We’re going to look in detail at a 180° rotation. How would the figure on the left look when rotated by 180º clockwise?
Non-verbal reasoning: Understanding direction
In non-verbal reasoning, direction is also referred to as orientation – in other words, the way a shape or figure is positioned on the paper, which tells us which direction it’s pointing to. Have a go at these practical non-verbal puzzles and remember to think about the direction each shape is pointing in. Find the odd one in the group of figures.
Non-verbal reasoning: Understanding reflection
Reflecting shapes in a mirror line means imagining what a shape would look like if you were to look at it in a mirror. Which figure on the right is the reflection of the shape given on the left along the dotted mirror line?
Non-verbal reasoning: Understanding rotation
Rotation means turning a shape around a point by a certain angle. A shape can be rotated in different directions, clockwise or counter-clockwise. Rotate the figure on the left by 90º. What will the rotated
shape look like?
shape look like?
Non-verbal reasoning: Understanding symmetry
Something is symmetrical when it is the same on both sides. A shape has symmetry if a central dividing line (a mirror line) can be drawn on it, to show that both sides of the shape are exactly the same. Looking at the shapes below, which ones don’t have a line of symmetry?
Non-verbal reasoning: Completing sequences
Here’s a sequence of figures, in order. By looking at how they change can you work out what the next figure in the sequence should be? Now, are you ready to do some complete-the-series questions?
