Imagine your brain is divided into two teams that work together.

• The left hemisphere is like a planner and organizer. It helps with:
• Logic (solving math problems and puzzles)
• Language (speaking, reading, and writing)
• Remembering facts and details

• Following rules and patterns

• The right hemisphere is like a creative artist. It helps with:

• Imagination and creativity (art, music, imagination)
• Recognizing faces and understanding emotions
• Visualizing and understanding big pictures (like maps or stories)
• Intuition and making quick decisions

Both teams work together to help you think, learn, and solve problems.
