BYOPuzzles for Android

11 things about BYOPuzzles

1. The visual perception skills needed to solve the puzzles include: shape perception and shape constancy, spatial relations, part/whole relationships, detail discrimination, figure ground differentiation, and pattern recognition.

2. How does this work? Innovative and creative ideas begin with our ability to break the whole into parts, to subdivide the parts into other parts, and to reorganize the parts in relation to the whole.

3. These kaleidoscope images give you an opportunity to rehearse visual imagery skills that enhance thinking and complex problem solving.

4. Part-whole analysis involves identifying the parts that constitute the function of the whole and recognizing how those parts work together to deliver that function.

5. In order to solve the puzzle, you must notice details and the relationship between the details; then the details are rotated, flipped, and mirrored to create complex kaleidoscope patterns.

6. Rehearsal with analytical perception puzzles such as BYOPuzzles, enhances communications and catalyzes creativity.

7. Recognizing how parts fit together and how they can be reorganized enables us to generate ideas that result in innovation and creativity.

8. Without visual imagery mathematics cannot be used to solve problems and to understand the world.

9. BYOPuzzles strengthen the right hemisphere of the brain, which is primarily responsible for visual perception.

10. BYOPuzzles force you to focus on the process of analyzing and solving problems so that you can then take that experience and generalize or replicate it in other situations.

11. How will this help me? Visual imagery is the foundation of abstract thinking and mathematics.
