What children learn in Level 20
- An analogy compares two pairs of words. Hot is to cold, as up is to down. The dots mean is to, and as.
- To solve one, name the relationship in the first pair. Hot and cold are opposites. So up needs its opposite: down.
- Pairs can be related in many ways: opposites, synonyms, part to whole, tool and use, young and adult, or animal and home.
- Say the relationship as a sentence: a wheel is part of a car. Then try it on the second pair.
