Spatial reasoning

Spatial reasoning practice: fold it, turn it, count it.

Exam-style puzzles in the styles used by the Kent and Gloucestershire tests, with five answer choices (A–E). Every answer comes with a clear explanation of how to work it out, so a wrong answer turns into a lesson.

Question styles

  • Hidden Shapes. Find the figure that has the target shape hidden inside it, exactly as shown.
  • Cube Nets. Work out which flat shapes fold up into a cube, and which faces end up opposite each other.
  • Counting Cubes. Count every cube in a solid, including the ones you can’t see.
  • Views of Solids. Work out what a solid looks like when you look at it from the side.

Start with a mixed round, drill a single question style, or retry only the questions that need work. Switch on a timed test when it’s time to build exam pace.

Also in the mock exams. The Kent and Pate’s reasoning papers include a Spatial section, so your child sits it the way it appears on the day. See the mock exams →

Puzzles you can trust.

The worst thing in spatial practice is an answer key that’s wrong, or a puzzle with two right answers. So every puzzle here is built and checked before a child ever sees it.

Exactly one right answer

Every puzzle is built from a clear rule and its answer is checked again from that rule, so there is nothing ambiguous to second-guess.

Five clearly different choices

Answer options are checked so that no two look alike. Your child chooses between real ideas, not near-identical drawings.

The thinking, explained

Every answer explains how to work it out: which tower hides a cube, which squares overlap when a net folds. Tricky puzzles come back later so the method sticks.
