The digital exercises that inspired this worksheet

Countdown

Using strategic planning, reasoning, and cognitive flexibility, your client must try to decipher how to arrive at a given solution using the given numbers, given operators, as well as the results of their steps to arrive at a specific solution. This exercise highly targets executive functioning, but also targets working memory by way of requiring your client to remember which numbers and operators they have used and keep track of unsuccessful attempts so as to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Your client must develop and implement strategies for effective planning while also practicing how to effectively solve problems using some degree of trial and error.

Basketball in NY

Looking at the configuration of basketballs, your clients will have to mentally manipulate the basketballs into the correct hoops in as few moves as possible. Working memory and planning are challenged in this exercise, as clients must view the desired configuration and plan the most effective way to reach it. This exercise also helps with inhibition, as unplanned actions can cause more steps needed to solve the problem.

Try this digital exercise for FREE!

Writing in the Stars

Like a crossword puzzle, this exercise trains planning, working memory, and organization. Using the subtle clues of how many letters are in a word, what words are available, and what words share common characteristics, clients will be challenged to effectively plan and reason in order to correctly place the words in the correct order. If your client requires multiple attempts to solve the puzzle, you may want to assist them in developing effective planning strategies.
