Fascinating Fact:

Logos and technical symbols often use shapes coded with colours or directions – just like these puzzles.

In 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, pupils learn to spot how shapes and letters relate through movement, reflection, and order. Understanding these patterns trains the brain to think logically and visually.

Key Terms

Sequence: A set of shapes or letters that follow a rule or pattern.
Rotation: Turning a shape around a fixed point to change its direction.
Reflection: A mirror image of a shape or letter, flipped across an axis.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are shape and letter sequences in Non-Verbal Reasoning?

They are puzzles that show patterns using shapes or letters. Pupils must find how one changes to the next by rotation, reflection, or position.

Why do 11 Plus tests include these types of questions?

They measure logical and spatial reasoning skills. Recognising changes in shape or sequence shows how well pupils can spot relationships and patterns.

How can pupils improve at shape and letter questions?

Practise by sketching simple sequences, noting differences, and checking directions carefully. The more patterns you solve, the quicker recognition becomes.
