CAT4 practice that teaches the method

Step-by-step practice is a guided way to learn CAT4 questions. Your child answers first. If they want help, the question opens one step at a time, so they learn the method, not just the answer.

  1. Try it alone. Answer first, with no help.
  2. Ask for one hint. It points the way without giving the answer.
  3. Follow the steps. Predict first, then see why.

Figure Analysis. A sheet of paper is folded and punched. Your child works out where the holes are when it opens.

Level A · Figure Analysis

Which picture shows the paper when it is opened out?

Paper folding. A blue square sheet is folded in half along a vertical centre line, with the left half folding over onto the right half to make a tall strip. Two holes are punched through the folded strip: one in the top-right corner and one at the bottom, next to the fold. Five options, A to E, show hole patterns on the opened square.
