We finish the year doing brain games to support mental agility, fluidity, memory, and problem solving.
Session 6 features brain games using the free http://brainturk.com (a free alternative to Lumosity). Students can work in 4 areas to build neuroplasticity: Agility, Fluid Intelligence, Memory, and Problem Solving. Can you make yourself smarter doing these games? We'll see!
Teachers -- I suggest giving the student with the best score an extra point!
