Figure matrices practice
A is to B as C is to…? Work out how one figure changes, then apply it. How these questions work →
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the direction changes from turned a quarter anticlockwise to upright and from left to right the shape changes from arrows to triangles. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own number of shapes. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives four black triangles.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the shape changes from L-shapes to semicircles and from left to right the direction changes from upright to turned a quarter clockwise. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own number of shapes. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives four black semicircles turned a quarter clockwise.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the number of shapes changes from 3 shapes to 4 shapes. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own colour and direction. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives four white semicircles upside down.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the direction changes from turned a quarter clockwise to upside down and from left to right the colour changes from black to grey. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own number of shapes. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives four grey right-angled triangles upside down.

The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the number of shapes changes from 3 shapes to 2 shapes and from left to right the colour changes from black to grey. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own shape. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives two grey hexagons.
The top two figures go together in a certain way. Which figure goes with the bottom one in the same way?
In the top pair, from left to right the shape changes from squares to diamonds. Everything else stays the same, and each pair keeps its own number of shapes and colour. Doing the same to the bottom figure gives three black diamonds.
