Fascinating Fact:
Spotting analogies trains your brain to think flexibly, which helps with problem solving in maths, coding, and science.
In 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, pupils explore how shapes relate to one another through rules of reflection, rotation, and sequence. This skill develops logical thinking that supports wider learning across many subjects.
