Brain Power Strategy Card handout. It's separated into three zones: the frustration zone, the growth zone, and the independent growth zone. Below each zone is a space where students can organize their work into each section, and a space for them to write out a plan for tackling their work.
An infographic showing two balance-scale diagrams comparing brain states. The top section is titled “Brain Power in Zone 1 & Zone 2: Growth Zone” and shows a balanced scale labeled “Balanced,” with arrows indicating working memory, information coming in, and brain power/energy (cognitive load) in equilibrium. The bottom section is titled “Cognitive Overload Zone 3: Brain is Frozen” and shows a tilted, imbalanced scale labeled “Imbalanced,” with notes indicating too much information coming in, working memory overloaded, and the brain overloaded or frozen due to cognitive overload. Made by Teacher Katherine Effremkin and shared by Edutopia.
