Free NNAT serial reasoning worksheets

NNAT · Serial reasoning · Grades 1–8

Serial reasoning is a row of figures that changes in a regular way. One step might add a part, turn a shape, or swap a fill. You choose the figure that comes next, not a figure from somewhere else in a grid. QuizPrint draws these from its figure-series questions for Grades 1–8. The sample is Grade 4. Pattern completion is the related page if the missing piece sits inside a design rather than at the end of a row. QuizPrint is not affiliated with Pearson, and these worksheets are not official NNAT questions.
