In a 3x3 matrix with one cell missing, what is the first step?
Answer: Analyze patterns across rows and down columns
Matrix problems require identifying rules in both row and column directions.
A row starts with triangle, then square. What should the missing third cell contain?
Answer: Pentagon (5 sides)
The row adds one side: 3, 4, 5.
A row has large and small shapes. What size should the missing shape be?
Answer: Medium
Each row contains all three sizes; medium completes the set.
Each column uses a different color. The missing cell is in column 3. How determine its color?
Answer: Match the color used by other shapes in column 3
Column consistency means the missing cell matches its column color.
What makes advanced matrix problems harder?
Answer: Multiple rules operating simultaneously across rows and columns
Advanced matrices require tracking multiple simultaneous rules.
Shapes rotate across rows and change color down columns. What must the answer have?
Answer: Correct rotation for its row AND correct color for its column
The answer must satisfy all rules simultaneously.
