Yesterday I encouraged A-One to do one of the non-maths problem solving games in addition to the usual games that his online training offers him as part of his program. However, he was his familiar resistant self so it didn't happen.
When he did do his training, he achieved a PB for flexibility and his overall BPI at 701 was his highest so far, but he had attained that a few days ago, then went for a dip.
Today was more exciting. He gained 3 PBs and his highest BPI so far, 142% up on his starting score just a few weeks ago. And he was singing along with some music while he did the games!
A-One: This game is unfair - the penguin is going faster than I can!Mum: Yes, that's to challenge you to improve your speed.
At the end of the games presented to him, his percentiles were:
Speed: 56th
Memory, Attention and Flexibility: all now above 20th
Problem Solving: 0.9th
I prevailed again upon him to try a non-math problem solving game.
A-One: No, I'll do only the ones they give me.
Mum: You don't have to do only those. You can do others as well. Look, click on Problem Solving and choose one of the two non-maths ones.
A-One: Alright ... I'm thinking which one.
He chose the same one that he had the other day, discovering the rule for grouping shapes. A couple of days ago when he first tried it he made comments about it being a silly game, however today he followed it quietly and achieved the next level.We went back to see how that affected his BPI, and it had increased, and his problem solving had gone from 0.9 to 2.3rd percentile! He was pretty pleased with that.
So I might have more success in convincing him to add that game to his daily routine.
No clocks or reading comprehension - his co-operation level hasn't been so high.
Off to the post office ...
