THREE WAYS TO THINK Explore Verbal, Quantitative and Nonverbal reasoning. Work with picture analogies, sentence completion, classification, number patterns, figure matrices and paper folding. Practice follows your child's grade, with clear pictures for early learners and more involved reasoning for older children.
