E54 The Secret Agent Academy

It’s time to get our mental gears turning with a brand new Brain Warm-Up!

Today, we are going undercover at the Global Secret Agent Academy! The Golden Magnifying Glass has been stolen right before graduation, and we need your Thinker's help to get it back. Your family will use the process of elimination to identify a disguised suspect, practice Spanish clothing vocabulary (sombrero, zapatos, chaqueta), and use expert backward-counting and tactile math to crack the code to the gadget vault!

Parents: Stick around to the very end for our "Parent Corner." Today, Shelley explains why deductive reasoning is so crucial for analytical thinking, and why counting backward is the ultimate working-memory prerequisite for learning subtraction.

🎙️ The Kids Takeover is Coming!
On the last week of August, we are featuring YOUR Thinkers on the show! Head over to RaisingThinkers.io to join the free community for our monthly printables, or upgrade to the Master Thinkers Club to submit your challenge answers for a custom certificate, get on-air birthday shoutouts, and submit your audio riddles/jokes for the podcast! (All August submissions are due by the 20th!)

Keep questioning, keep playing, and we will see you on Thursday for a Brain Bender!
