How it works
Look at the shape, not the colour.
Two things are the same shape even if their colours are different.
Find the one that is different.
Worked examples
The odd one
- Two squares and a circle.
- The circle is not a square.
- The circle is the different shape.
Solid shapes
- A can, a box and a flat square.
- Cans and boxes are solid, which means you can hold them.
- The flat square is not solid.
Colour doesn't count
- A red square and a blue square.
- Both have four sides.
- They are the same shape.
