Overview

This set of 20 non-verbal reasoning questions is based on transformations. These questions are designed for students preparing for the 11+ exam, focusing on transformations such as rotations, reflections, resizing, and flipping. Each question requires students to visualise changes applied to shapes and select the correct transformed version from a set of options.

Example Question:

Example 1

Look at the following shape:

Question: If the shape is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, which of the following shows the correct transformation?

Solution:
By visualising the 90-degree clockwise rotation, the correct answer would show the shape repositioned accordingly.

Question 18

Identify the shape that results from rotating the shape 180 degrees and flipping it vertically.

Question 19

What does the shape look like after being resized, rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise, and flipped horizontally?

Question 20

If the shape is reflected both vertically and horizontally and then rotated 90 degrees clockwise, which of the following shows the correct transformation?

Answers

Basic Transformation Tasks

  1. The 90-degree clockwise rotation moves the shape a quarter turn to the right.
  2. The vertically reflected shape is a mirror image along the vertical axis.
  3. The 180-degree rotated shape appears upside down from the original.
  4. The horizontally reflected shape shows a mirror image along the horizontal axis.
  5. The resized shape is smaller than the original but maintains the same proportions.

Intermediate Transformation Tasks

  1. The 270-degree clockwise rotation results in a three-quarter turn of the shape.
  2. After flipping horizontally and rotating 90 degrees clockwise, the shape appears in a new orientation.
  3. The 180-degree rotation and horizontal reflection create an inverted version of the shape.
  4. Rotating the shape 90 degrees counterclockwise and enlarging it produces a larger, rotated version.
  5. A vertical reflection followed by a 90-degree clockwise rotation changes both the orientation and symmetry of the shape.

Advanced Transformation Tasks

  1. Resizing and rotating 45 degrees will result in a smaller, slightly rotated version of the shape.
  2. The 180-degree rotation and vertical reflection create a mirrored, upside-down shape.
  3. Double reflection (first vertically, then horizontally) produces a flipped version of the original shape.
  4. A horizontal flip followed by a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation results in a rotated and mirrored version of the shape.
  5. Rotating 90 degrees clockwise and resizing changes both the position and size of the shape.

Expert-Level Transformation Tasks

  1. The final shape, after a vertical reflection, resizing, and 180-degree rotation, will be both smaller and inverted.
  2. The result of rotating the shape 90 degrees clockwise and reflecting it horizontally is a mirrored, rotated version.
  3. The 180-degree rotation followed by a vertical flip creates a fully inverted shape.
  4. After resizing, rotating 270 degrees counterclockwise, and flipping horizontally, the shape will appear in a completely different orientation.
  5. Reflecting both vertically and horizontally, then rotating 90 degrees clockwise, produces a flipped and rotated version of the shape.

This set of transformation-based non-verbal reasoning questions is designed to test students’ ability to manipulate shapes through rotations, reflections, and resizing. These skills are essential for success in the 11+ exam and help develop spatial awareness, critical thinking, and visualisation skills.
