Kindergarten Readiness Practice Pack — Grade 1

Answer Key — Kindergarten Readiness Grade 1

1. 1. E — Look at how the design is built: the two shapes alternate like squares on a chessboard, so each one sits diagonally next to its own kind. Read across row 3 and down column 1 to see what belongs where they cross. The wrong pieces are the ones taken from a neighbouring square, or the right shape carrying the wrong shading — both look plausible until you check the other direction.
2. 2. E — All three pictures show vehicles that carry people from place to place. taxi, bicycle, airplane and train all belong to that group, so train is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
3. 3. C — The relationship is "body part to what it does." mouth → talk, so hands → clap.
4. 4. A — The numbers count up by 1 each time. 7 + 1 = 8.
5. 5. A — Look at how the design is built: each column holds its own shape, repeating across the design. Read across row 3 and down column 1 to see what belongs where they cross. The wrong pieces are the ones taken from a neighbouring square, or the right shape carrying the wrong shading — both look plausible until you check the other direction.
6. 6. E — All three pictures show things you see in the sky. star, snowflake, sun and kite all belong to that group, so kite is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
7. 7. D — The relationship is "opposites." happy → sad, so full → empty.
8. 8. D — The numbers count up by 2 each time. 11 + 2 = 13.
9. 9. D — Look at how the design is built: every row is shaded differently and the shading repeats down the design. Read across row 2 and down column 2 to see what belongs where they cross. The wrong pieces are the ones taken from a neighbouring square, or the right shape carrying the wrong shading — both look plausible until you check the other direction.
10. 10. E — All three pictures show things you win or are given. gem, crown, medal and trophy all belong to that group, so trophy is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
11. 11. D — The relationship is "young animal to its adult." piglet → pig, so cub → bear.
12. 12. D — The numbers count up by 1 each time. 8 + 1 = 9.
13. 13. B — Look at how the design is built: every row is shaded differently and the shading repeats down the design. Read across row 2 and down column 3 to see what belongs where they cross. The wrong pieces are the ones taken from a neighbouring square, or the right shape carrying the wrong shading — both look plausible until you check the other direction.
14. 14. E — All three pictures show things people do to keep fit. swimming, fishing, running and hockey all belong to that group, so hockey is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
15. 15. D — The relationship is "young animal to its adult." puppy → dog, so chick → chicken.
16. 16. B — The numbers count down by 1 each time. 4 − 1 = 3.
17. 17. C — Look at how the design is built: the two shapes alternate like squares on a chessboard, so each one sits diagonally next to its own kind. Read across row 2 and down column 3 to see what belongs where they cross. The wrong pieces are the ones taken from a neighbouring square, or the right shape carrying the wrong shading — both look plausible until you check the other direction.
18. 18. C — All three pictures show sports played with a ball. rugby, bowling, cricket and basketball all belong to that group, so basketball is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
19. 19. C — The relationship is "thing to its usual color." grape → purple, so cherry → red.
20. 20. D — The numbers count up by 1 each time. 5 + 1 = 6.
