1. Matrices

Kindergarten matrices question. A circle shaded on top becomes a circle shaded on the bottom. A square shaded on top must change in the same way. Choices A through D show different shaded halves.
Show answer and explanation for question 1

Answer A. The first pair keeps the shape the same and moves the shading from the top half to the bottom half. Applying that rule to the square gives A.

2. Picture Analogies

Kindergarten picture analogy question. Ice cream is paired with a tongue, and a flower must be paired with the matching sense organ. Choices are a nose, tongue, spider web, and ear.
Show answer and explanation for question 2

Answer A. The first pair matches an object with the sense used for it: you taste ice cream with your tongue. You smell a flower with your nose, so A completes the same relationship.

3. Number Puzzles

Kindergarten number puzzle. A missing group plus four blue squares must equal five blue squares. Choices A through D show groups with one, five, two, or four squares.
Show answer and explanation for question 3

Answer A. Both sides must total five squares. Four squares are already shown, so the missing box needs one more square. This gives A.

4. Number Series

Kindergarten number series question. Bead strings show one bead, two beads, and three beads. Choices A through D show strings with two, five, four, or three beads.
Show answer and explanation for question 4

Answer C. The pattern adds one bead each time: one, two, three. The next rod needs four beads. This gives C.

5. Paper Folding

Kindergarten paper folding question. A square is folded vertically and one hole is punched near the top of the folded paper. Choices A through D show different hole patterns after unfolding.
Show answer and explanation for question 5

Answer A. Unfolding reflects the punched hole across the vertical fold. This creates two holes at matching heights on opposite sides. That pattern appears in A.
