What it practises
- Deep reflection & analysis: Slowing down: weighing evidence, spotting weak arguments and explaining why something worked.
- Maths calculation: Arithmetic, fractions, ratios, powers and number bases at a steady pace.
Fast games can crowd out slow thinking, so this skill uses untimed games and written reflection.
Quick lesson: Reading charts carefully
Charts can mislead. Check where the axis starts, how many people or things were counted, and whether a link between two things could have another cause. Compare rates, not just totals.
