• Math & Science– Number use, awareness of
time, symbols, facts & linear reasoning
• Holistic thought– Seeing “big” picture before
understanding details
• Intuition– Insight based upon incomplete
patterns or “hunches”• Creativity
– Demonstrative with minimal word use, understanding relationships

LEFT (a little bigger) RIGHT
• Take your dominant hand and make a clock-wise circle.
• Now take your opposite foot and circle it counter-clockwise– Easy, right?
• Now try and do the same thing, but with both dominant hand/foot
• Try these hemispheric activities…
