Strategy card
Two things can go together in a special way.
- Step 1: Look at the first two pictures.
- Step 2: Say how they go together: "It got bigger!"
- Step 3: Do the same thing to the third picture.
- Step 4: Pick the picture that matches.
Tip: Use your hands: show small, then big.
Worked example
The first two pictures go together. Which picture goes with the third one in the same way?
- A: green heart
- B: outlined green heart (the answer)
- C: outlined green star
Why: In the first pair, the filled-in shape becomes an outline. So green heart becomes outlined green heart.
