Fascinating Fact:

Artists like Leonardo da Vinci used shape similarity in his studies of the human body, noticing how proportions repeat across nature.

In 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, pupils develop visual logic skills by comparing shapes that share patterns, angles, or proportions. Learning to recognise these relationships helps improve focus, logic, and spatial awareness.

Parents can find helpful study materials and guidance for the 11 Plus here: Courses and Materials for the 11 Plus – A Guide for Parents .

Key Terms
