Here are 10 Class 2 reasoning questions with answers from our Logic Quest track.

How to help your child with Class 2 Reasoning
- Ask for the rule, not just the answer. "It goes up by 3 each time" is the real skill.
- Use everyday puzzles. Directions on the way to school, the order of people in a queue or patterns on floor tiles are all reasoning practice.
- Mix question types. In an exam, the types don't come in groups, so practice shouldn't either.
- Draw it out. For directions, rankings and family trees, a quick sketch solves most questions.
