Fascinating Fact:
One common trick is that every row or column might follow a mini-pattern, so the missing shape must satisfy both.
In 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, matrix puzzles encourage pupils to analyse relationships between shapes. They learn to identify how rules apply both across and down a grid, improving logical thinking and attention to detail.
