NNAT Practice Pack — Grade 5

Answer Key — NNAT Grade 5

1. 1. B — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding one place every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: B. The others: A a figure that breaks the cycle; C the right figure with the wrong fill; D copies the far corner; E a figure that breaks the cycle.
2. 2. D — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives D. The others: A keeps only the second design; B the merged design slid one place; C invents a mark neither design has; E loses one mark in the merge.
3. 3. D — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. D lines up exactly. The others don't: A the right patch mirrored; B the patch from the wrong place in the pattern; C the pattern at the wrong size; E the right patch turned a quarter-turn.
4. 4. D — In the top row, the figure shrinks and the figure grows. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies only one of the two changes; B applies a different rule than the top row shows; C right change, wrong figure shape; E copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure.
5. 5. C — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding two places every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: C. The others: A repeats the figure above the empty cell; B a figure that breaks the cycle; D the right figure at the wrong size; E the right figure with the wrong fill.
6. 6. B — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives B. The others: A keeps only the second design; C invents a mark neither design has; D loses one mark in the merge; E the merged design slid one place.
7. 7. B — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. B lines up exactly. The others don't: A the right patch turned a quarter-turn; C shifted sideways off the pattern's rhythm; D the patch from the wrong place in the pattern; E the pattern at the wrong size.
8. 8. C — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and the figure shrinks. 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 applies a different rule than the top row shows; D right change, wrong figure shape; E applies the change twice.
9. 9. B — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding one place every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: B. The others: A the right figure with the wrong fill; C a figure that breaks the cycle; D the right figure at the wrong size; E a figure that breaks the cycle.
10. 10. E — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once, and a mark both designs share appears once, not twice. That gives E. The others: A loses one mark in the merge; B invents a mark neither design has; C the merged design slid one place; D keeps only the marks the designs share.
11. 11. B — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. B lines up exactly. The others don't: A the right patch mirrored; C the patch from the wrong place in the pattern; D shifted sideways off the pattern's rhythm; E the pattern too tightly packed.
12. 12. E — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and the figure grows. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives E. 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; C applies the change twice; D applies only one of the two changes.
13. 13. C — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding one place every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: C. The others: A a figure that breaks the cycle; B the right figure at the wrong size; D the right figure with the wrong fill; E repeats the figure beside the empty cell.
14. 14. A — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once, and a mark both designs share appears once, not twice. That gives A. The others: B loses one mark in the merge; C the merged design slid one place; D keeps only the second design; E invents a mark neither design has.
15. 15. C — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. C lines up exactly. The others don't: A the right patch turned a quarter-turn; B the pattern too tightly packed; D the patch from the wrong place in the pattern; E the right patch mirrored.
16. 16. C — In the top row, the figure shrinks and a smaller copy appears inside. 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 applies a different rule than the top row shows; D right change, wrong figure shape; E applies only one of the two changes.
17. 17. B — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding two places every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: B. The others: A the right figure with the wrong fill; C the right figure at the wrong size; D repeats the figure above the empty cell; E a figure that breaks the cycle.
18. 18. A — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives A. The others: B keeps only the second design; C the merged design slid one place; D keeps only the first design; E loses one mark in the merge.
19. 19. A — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. A lines up exactly. The others don't: B the right patch turned a quarter-turn; C shifted sideways off the pattern's rhythm; D the right patch mirrored; E the pattern at the wrong size.
20. 20. C — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and 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 only one of the two changes; D applies the change twice; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
