What to Focus On

  • Blood relations test logical reasoning about family connections
  • Three main question types: relationship finding, gender determination, and counting family members
  • Success requires translating descriptions into visualizable family structures

  • Relationships divided into paternal side and maternal side
  • Paternal: grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt from father's side
  • Maternal: maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, maternal uncle, maternal aunt from mother's side

  • Generation 1: Grandparents (paternal and maternal)
  • Generation 2: Parents, in-laws, uncles, aunts
  • Generation 3: Self, siblings, cousins, same-age in-laws

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Students believe that 'father's wife' always means 'mother' in blood relation problems

Students confuse 'maternal uncle' and 'paternal uncle' based on the person asking the question rather than the relationship chain

Students think that working from the beginning of the relationship chain is more logical than working backwards
