1. Figural Analogies

Grade 1 figural analogies question. A three-by-three circle pattern changes by swapping every filled blue circle with an empty circle. A second pattern must change by the same rule. Choices A through D show different filled-circle arrangements.
Show answer and explanation for question 1

Answer B. Every filled circle becomes empty, and every empty circle becomes filled. Applying that same reversal to the second pattern gives B.

2. Matrices

Grade 1 matrices question. An orange circle containing a green square becomes a green square containing an orange circle. A white circle containing a black pentagon must change in the same way. Choices A through D show different circle and pentagon arrangements.
Show answer and explanation for question 2

Answer C. The inner and outer shapes switch places while keeping their colors. The black pentagon moves outside, and the white circle moves inside it. This gives C.

3. Matrix Reasoning

Grade 1 matrix reasoning question. A large blue and orange checkerboard reverses its colors from left to right. A smaller checkerboard must follow the same rule. Choices A through D show different three-by-three color patterns.
Show answer and explanation for question 3

Answer A. The first pair swaps every blue square with an orange square. Applying the same color swap to the smaller checkerboard creates the pattern in A.

4. Spatial Reasoning

Grade 1 spatial reasoning question. Blue diamonds, orange squares, a black diamond, and a blue trapezoid form a two-row matrix. Choices A through D show different combinations and positions of the lower shapes.
Show answer and explanation for question 4

Answer A. The first pair combines the two shapes and switches their positions. Applying that rule below places the blue trapezoid above the black diamond. This gives A.

5. Pattern Completion

Grade 1 pattern completion question. A repeating orange, green, and white triangle design has a rectangular piece missing near the top. Choices A through D show different pattern fragments.
Show answer and explanation for question 5

Answer C. The triangle edges and colors must continue across the missing space without a break. Only C completes every line and preserves the orange, green, and white pattern.
