Answer Key — Kindergarten Readiness Kindergarten

1. 1. B — 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.
2. 2. A — All three pictures show animals that live on a farm. cow, rooster, horse and duck all belong to that group, so duck is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
3. 3. A — The relationship is "animal to the sound it makes." sheep → baa, so cow → moo.
4. 4. D — The numbers count down by 1 each time. 7 − 1 = 6.
5. 5. A — Look at how the design is built: each column holds its own shape, repeating across the design. Read across row 1 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. B — All three pictures show things you use at school. calculator, notebook, glasses and book all belong to that group, so book is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
7. 7. B — The relationship is "young animal to its adult." cub → bear, so joey → kangaroo.
8. 8. D — The numbers count up by 1 each time. 4 + 1 = 5.
9. 9. B — Look at how the design is built: each column holds its own shape, repeating across the design. Read across row 1 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. A — All three pictures show fruits. pineapple, orange, cherry and avocado all belong to that group, so avocado is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
11. 11. C — The relationship is "young animal to its adult." calf → cow, so cub → bear.
12. 12. A — The numbers count up by 2 each time. 8 + 2 = 10.
13. 13. E — Look at how the design is built: every row is shaded differently and the shading repeats down the design. Read across row 3 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.
14. 14. C — All three pictures show animals that live on a farm. chicken, goat, duck and cow all belong to that group, so cow is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
15. 15. B — The relationship is "thing to its usual color." sky → blue, so grass → green.
16. 16. C — The numbers count down by 2 each time. 4 − 2 = 2.
17. 17. 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 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.
18. 18. B — All three pictures show fruits. pineapple, lemon, strawberry and avocado all belong to that group, so avocado is the one that goes with them. The other choices are pictures of something else.
19. 19. A — The relationship is "body part to what it does." tongue → taste, so nose → smell.
20. 20. B — The numbers count up by 1 each time. 4 + 1 = 5.
