Answer Key — CAT4 Grade 1

  1. 1. C — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives C. The others each make a specific mistake: A the bottom figure with no rule applied; B right change, wrong figure shape.
  2. 2. E — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 7 coloured squares in the finished picture.
  3. 3. C — bird, kite, bee are all things that fly. So is rocket — answer C. The other pictures are not things that fly.
  4. 4. B — The top row goes from 7 to 8: one more. Doing the same to 3 gives 4. The others: A copies the top row's answer; C one too many.
  5. 5. A — In the top row, the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives A. The others each make a specific mistake: B copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; C the bottom figure with no rule applied.
  6. 6. B — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 9 coloured squares in the finished picture.
  7. 7. A — umbrella goes with cloud because you use the first one with the second. In the same way crayon goes with book — answer A. The other pictures do not go with crayon that way.
  8. 8. C — 2 + 3 = 5, so the empty box needs 3 shapes. The others: A one too few; B one too many.
  9. 9. C — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives C. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies a different rule than the top row shows; B copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure.
  10. 10. A — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 8 coloured squares in the finished picture.
  11. 11. B — potato, mushroom, tomato are all vegetables. So is carrot — answer B. The other pictures are not vegetables.
  12. 12. C — The rods show 5, 1, 5, 1, 5, ?: the rods take turns: 5, 1, 5, 1. So the next rod has 1 bead. The others: A one bead too many; B copies the rod before the gap, which breaks the repeating pattern.
  13. 13. A — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives A. The others each make a specific mistake: B the bottom figure with no rule applied; C right change, wrong figure shape.
  14. 14. B — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 6 coloured squares in the finished picture.
  15. 15. C — cow goes with milk because the first one gives us the second. In the same way tree goes with leaf — answer C. The other pictures do not go with tree that way.
  16. 16. C — The top row goes from 4 to 7: three more. Doing the same to 1 gives 4. The others: A one too few; B one too many.
  17. 17. C — In the top row, the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives C. The others each make a specific mistake: A copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; B applies a different rule than the top row shows.
  18. 18. C — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 8 coloured squares in the finished picture.
  19. 19. A — ladybug, bee, ant are all insects and other tiny crawling creatures. So is snail — answer A. The other pictures are not insects and other tiny crawling creatures.
  20. 20. B — The left side has 4 + 2 = 6. The right side already has 1, so it needs 5 more. The others: A one too few; C counts the whole left side instead of what is missing on the right.
