Fascinating Fact:

These puzzles strengthen visual logic by teaching you to focus on relationships between shapes rather than just how they look at first glance.

In 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, pupils study how shapes relate through position, shading, and symmetry. Similar shape questions encourage logical thinking and careful observation, improving problem-solving skills across maths and design-based subjects.

Key Terms

Symmetry: When two parts of a shape are mirror images of each other.
Rotation: The turning of a shape around a central point to form a new position.
Similarity: When two shapes have the same form or proportions but may differ in size.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are similar shapes in Non-Verbal Reasoning?

Similar shapes have the same proportions or angles but may differ in size or orientation. Pupils learn to spot these logical connections visually.

How can pupils improve at recognising similar shapes?

By practising puzzles that focus on size, rotation, and shading differences, pupils strengthen their ability to notice patterns and relationships quickly.

Why are similar shapes questions important for the 11 Plus?

They test logic and spatial reasoning, helping pupils improve problem-solving and analytical skills valuable for all 11 Plus subjects.
