Matrices 1

Matrices questions test logical and spatial thinking. Pupils study patterns in grids and work out which missing shape completes the set based on shared rules.

Fascinating Fact:

In real life, engineers, architects, and graphic designers use similar matrix thinking when designing grid layouts, tile patterns, or building façades.

In 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, matrix puzzles help pupils recognise visual relationships between shapes and positions. They encourage organised thinking and the ability to identify consistent rules, both key skills for problem-solving.

  • Matrix: A grid or table used to show relationships or rules between rows and columns.
  • Rule: The pattern or relationship that links one image to another within the matrix.
  • Sequence: A specific order that repeats or develops according to a visual or logical rule.
What is a matrix question in non-verbal reasoning?

A matrix question shows shapes arranged in a grid. Pupils must find which shape completes the pattern based on the rule linking each row and column.

How can pupils improve at matrix puzzles?

They can practise spotting consistent changes between shapes, such as rotation, shading, or number of sides, to identify the rule that links them.

Why are matrices used in the 11 Plus exam?

They measure logical and spatial reasoning skills, showing how well pupils can interpret information and apply rules to unfamiliar problems.
