Fascinating Fact:

Meteorologists use matrices of numbers to predict weather changes by comparing patterns across regions.

In 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, pupils learn to identify logical rules in grids. Each question combines reasoning, pattern spotting, and visual deduction – valuable skills for many future subjects.

Key Terms

Matrix: A grid that displays shapes or numbers arranged according to specific logical rules.
Pattern: A repeated or predictable change in shapes, position, or shading.
Deduction: Using reasoning to determine the correct answer based on given information.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I solve matrix questions in non-verbal reasoning?

Look for consistent rules in rows and columns, such as changes in shape, size, number, or shading. Apply those rules to find the missing figure.

What skills do matrix puzzles help to develop?

They improve logical thinking, observation, and problem-solving. Pupils also strengthen visual reasoning skills that are valuable for maths and science subjects.

Why are matrices included in 11 Plus exams?

Matrices test how well pupils recognise patterns and relationships. This shows how they approach new problems using reasoning rather than memorisation.
