Essential General Skills
Each skill includes a lesson, worked example, assessment, real-life task, and adaptive game. Two correct answers raise the challenge; one miss lowers it.
Pattern Recognition
Name the rule before guessing the next item. Then test the rule against every item you already have.
- Look at differences between neighbours.
- Say the rule out loud.
- Check it on all items.
- Only then predict.
Find three patterns at home — tiles, a calendar, a song chorus — and describe each rule in one sentence.
- SET Daily Puzzle ↗
Find sets by colour, shape, number and shading.
- Lichess Puzzles ↗
Spot tactical patterns in chess positions.
Rule Breaker
Adaptive rule: two correct in a row raises difficulty, one miss lowers it. Accuracy so far 0%.
