Module 6
I. Objectives
A. discuss that understanding the left and right brain functions may help in improving
one’s learning,
B. explore mind-mapping techniques suited to right brain- or left brain-dominant thinking
styles, and
C. make a plan to improve learning using both left and right brain development.
E. Generalization
Researchers believed that brain dominance determines a person’s preferences,
problem-solving style, personality characteristics, and even career choices. For
example, a right-brain individual will quickly get a feeling for a situation, while a left-
brain person will usually ask a lot of questions first.
F. Evaluation
Have the students answer in their Journal.
LATERAL THINKING PUZZLES
1. You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by
a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:
a. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die
b. An old friend who once saved your life
c. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about
Knowing that there can only be one passenger in your car, whom would you choose?
2. Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected
murderer. They don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that
he is inside the house. The police bust in on a carpenter, a lorry driver, a mechanic and
a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they
immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got their man?
3. A man lives in the penthouse of an apartment building. Every morning he takes the
elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. Upon his return, however, he can
only travel halfway up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way - unless it's raining.
What is the explanation for this?
4. A man and his son are in a car crash. The father is killed and the child is taken to
hospital gravely injured. When he gets there, the surgeon says, 'I can't operate on this
boy - for he is my son!!!' How can this possibly be?
V. ASSIGNMENT
Have the students Research on the study “the brain’s left and right sides seem to work
together better in mathematically gifted middle-school youth”
