A Note to Parents and Teachers

10 Minute Tests are designed to provide bite-sized practice of all key question types.

Written by an experienced non-verbal reasoning teacher, the tests cover seven different question types – ideal for building on early foundations of the subject.

How to use this book

Each test is designed to take around 10 minutes and can therefore be used for:  a short introduction to the skills that underpin non-verbal reasoning

 a quick assessment of early logical abilities

 bite-sized practice that will fi t easily into busy lifestyles

 regular top-up sessions that will help develop a sound base in reasoning.

The unique structure of Bond Non-verbal Reasoning 10 Minute Tests 8–9 years offers a combination of 9 topic-based tests and 9 mixed tests that will help children to develop the following basic logic and reasoning skills:

VË x˙a‰™~] VË W”¬j͉™~] VË ÄÜ‰™~]

– the odd one out – a visual sequence – coded shapes

– refl ections – a shape

– hidden shapes – a visual analogy

To ensure children are not daunted by non-verbal reasoning at this early stage, the questions include a mixture of pictures and abstract shapes (pictures are phased out after this level). Tests can be worked through in sequence or ‘dipped into’ for focused practice of particular skills.

Features

VË 0Ë†j¬Ë”Í‰Ü?ÍjËW†‰aÁj™^Ë?Ëpuzzles section (containing 5 puzzles) has been included towards the back of the book. Each puzzle is designed to help build a

range of reasoning skills, while introducing an element of fun into practice sessions. VË Scores can be recorded at the end of each test and in the progress grid at the

back of the book.

VË Answers are located in a central pull-out section that can be removed easily.
