Non-Verbal Reasoning

Visual pattern spotting, spatial reasoning and 3D thinking, built from single features up to full mixed papers.

Course overview

Non-verbal reasoning looks abstract, but it comes down to a small checklist of features — shape, size, shading, position, count and line style. Once your child scans figures systematically, scores rise quickly. This course builds that habit and then adds spatial and 3D work.

Topics covered

  • Feature spotting checklists
  • Similarities and odd one out
  • Analogies and matrices
  • Series and sequences
  • Rotation and reflection
  • Cubes, nets and 3D views

Session plan

Unit 1 — Feature spotting

Sessions 1-3

Shape, size, shading, position, count, line style — the six-point checklist

Unit 2 — Similarities & odd one out

Sessions 4-6

Most similar figures, odd one out, belongs-to-group questions

Unit 3 — Analogies & matrices

Sessions 7-10

A is to B as C is to ?, 2x2 and 3x3 matrices, complete the grid

Unit 4 — Series & sequences

Sessions 11-13

Continuing patterns, rotating series, cumulative changes

Unit 5 — Spatial & 3D

Sessions 14-17

Rotation, reflection, folding and hole punches, cubes and nets, 3D views

Unit 6 — Mixed timed practice

Sessions 18-20

Full mixed papers, elimination technique, time management

Course format & features

24/7 AI tutor

Every figure question can be explained on demand, feature by feature.

Visual walkthroughs

Solutions highlight the changing feature rather than just naming the answer.

Elimination training

Learn to rule options out fast when the rule isn't obvious.

Progress tracking

Accuracy by question style, from matrices to nets.

Student engagement

  • Game-like visual puzzles that hold attention
  • Instant feedback with the rule revealed
  • Badges for spotting rules first time
  • Short daily sets to keep pattern recognition sharp
