Numerical analogies

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. In this addition analogy, 13 is to 14 as 15 is to ____.
16
The rule adds 1 (13 + 1 = 14), so 15 + 1 = 16.
2. In this addition analogy, 14 is to 16 as 16 is to ____.
18
The rule adds 2 (14 + 2 = 16), so 16 + 2 = 18.
3. In this multiplication analogy, 8 is to 32 as 13 is to ____.
52
The rule multiplies by 4 (8 × 4 = 32), so 13 × 4 = 52.
4. In this addition analogy, 6 is to 7 as 11 is to ____.
12
The rule adds 1 (6 + 1 = 7), so 11 + 1 = 12.
5. In this multiplication analogy, 8 is to 24 as 15 is to ____.
45
The rule multiplies by 3 (8 × 3 = 24), so 15 × 3 = 45.
6. In this multiplication analogy, 9 is to 18 as 16 is to ____.
32
The rule multiplies by 2 (9 × 2 = 18), so 16 × 2 = 32.
7. In this multiplication analogy, 8 is to 24 as 11 is to ____.
33
The rule multiplies by 3 (8 × 3 = 24), so 11 × 3 = 33.
8. In this multiplication analogy, 5 is to 10 as 7 is to ____.
14
The rule multiplies by 2 (5 × 2 = 10), so 7 × 2 = 14.
9. In this multiplication analogy, 9 is to 27 as 11 is to ____.
33
The rule multiplies by 3 (9 × 3 = 27), so 11 × 3 = 33.
10. In this multiplication analogy, 2 is to 10 as 4 is to ____.
20
The rule multiplies by 5 (2 × 5 = 10), so 4 × 5 = 20.
11. In this multiplication analogy, 2 is to 10 as 8 is to ____.
40
The rule multiplies by 5 (2 × 5 = 10), so 8 × 5 = 40.
12. In this addition analogy, 11 is to 17 as 15 is to ____.
21
The rule adds 6 (11 + 6 = 17), so 15 + 6 = 21.
