People often wonder about the effectiveness of analogies. What do theyteach? How do they work? Why are they so useful? What makes analogiesso effective is their ability to get students to think critically. Inorder to answer an analogy question correctly, the student has to forma logical relationship, or 'bridge' between two words. They must thinkabout how the words are related. Since words represent particulars (notuniversals), there is a nearly infinite number of ways they might berelated. It is the student's job to narrow this number, and focus onthe most essential relation -- the most basic aspect of the word's functionor definition. This page contains analogies worksheets. In theseworksheets, students must be able to recognize the relationship betweenthe words in a word pair and to recognize when two word pairs displayparallel relationships. To answer an analogy question, you must formulatethe relationship between the words in the given word pair and then selectthe answer containing words related to one another in most nearly thesame way. Each question has five answer choices, and 12 questions total.
There are seven primary types of relationships used in our analogies:function, degree, lack, characteristic, type/kind, part to whole,and definition. Keep in mind that these relationship categoriesare general; there are many other categories and variations used throughoutthese worksheets. Also remember that while learning how to solve analogy problems can be very educational and rewarding,it can also be frustrating. Therefore, we strongly recommendyou review our Classic Bridge Examples worksheet as well as ourThree-Step Method for solving analogies problems (see links below). This will greatlyenhance your personal understanding of how analogies work, improve yourlesson plan when introducing analogies to students, and likely resultin a higher rate of success.The best strategy to use when completing analogies problems is the bridgesentence strategy. Bridge sentences are helpful because they enablethe student to instantly recognize the answer pair by plugging it intothe bridge sentence formulated from the question pair. If the bridgesentence works with both the question pair and answer pair, then youknow you have found the correct answer.
