NNAT3 Figure Classification

Question 1

In NNAT3 Figure Classification tasks, what is the student primarily asked to do?

Accepted Answer

Identify which figure does NOT belong to the same group as the others

Answer

Figure Classification tasks require students to determine which figure does not share the defining attribute(s) that group the other figures together.

Question 2

Which attribute is most commonly used to group figures in NNAT3 Figure Classification items?

Accepted Answer

Shared visual properties such as shape, size, shading, or number of sides

Answer

Figures in NNAT3 classification items are grouped by perceptual properties like shape type, size, shading pattern, orientation, or number of sides.

Question 3

If three figures in a set are all solid black triangles and one figure is an outlined circle, which cognitive skill does correctly identifying the odd figure demonstrate?

Accepted Answer

The ability to identify a shared attribute and recognize the exception

Answer

Selecting the outlined circle demonstrates that the student recognized the common attribute (solid black triangles) and correctly identified the exception.

Question 4

At which NNAT3 levels are Figure Classification items most likely to appear?

Accepted Answer

Levels C through G, targeting grades 3 through 12

Answer

Figure Classification tasks appear primarily in the middle and upper NNAT3 levels (C–G), since younger children in Levels A–B encounter simpler task types.

Question 5

A student sees four figures: a large square, a large rectangle, a large triangle, and a small square. What is the most likely classification rule?

Accepted Answer

Three are quadrilaterals, so the triangle is the odd one out based on shape

Answer

The large square, large rectangle, and small square are all quadrilaterals, while the triangle has three sides, making it the figure that does not belong.
