this game is good for kids who need help with:

Self-Awareness

Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings.

In this game, players can see their progress in each of the five Brain Academy subjects, including memorization, thinking, identification, computation, and analysis. With the graph provided on the main screen, players can appraise their performance to identify and describe which areas they need more practice in and the areas in which they excel. By understanding their own weaknesses in the game, players can work to improve these areas and gain a better brain weight.

Focus

Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.

For each activity, players are given a bronze, silver, or gold medal to represent their performance. Their "brain weight" depends on how well they do in each of the game's five categories. To increase their brain weight, players must be persistent and dedicated, revisiting completed activities in order to improve their proficiency and do well enough to earn better medals. Without determination and patience, players may remain at a stagnant brain weight, depriving themselves the sense of accomplishment that comes with earning gold medals and achieving a heftier brain weight.

Working Memory

Recalling and retaining information while working.

As explained, players need to go back to activities they previously completed in order to earn better medals. Working Memory skills can help players recall information learned from previous attempts, or recall and reuse good strategies. This helps them complete activities faster and with less effort, such as when players rapidly recall the denominations of coins used in one mode that they need to add up promptly. Additionally, good Working Memory skills are invaluable to solving math problems quickly and accurately, making it easier to mentally work with numbers and solve equations on the spot. Even recalling simple, memorized calculations like a table of multiplication comes in very handy while playing Big Brain Academy.
