Serial Reasoning questions require children to find the missing element in a given matrix, made of nine squares (3×3). These questions require kids to pay attention to changes horizontally, vertically and even diagonally. The relationship can be in design, direction and colors. These questions can be quite difficult to grasp so it is important to walk children gradually so they understand the logic.
Some of the most common transformations include – change in position, rotations, shape flips, combination of shapes, color switches, or folding of objects.
– How are the objects changing horizontally, vertically and diagonally?
– Is there outer/inner shape, if so, how are they changing?
– Are the colors changing?
– Are the objects rotating or flipping?
– Are the objects moving up/down or left/right?
– Are the objects increasing or decreasing in size?
