FAQs

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about Think!Think!

Is it possible to put a limit on the number of plays? If so, how do I do it?

Yes! You can manage the number of plays using the management dashboard:

1) Set the number of plays and time duration in [Management Menu: Homework Mode]
2) Turn on [Homework Mode] in [Management Menu: Classroom Management]

I'd like to know the appropriate stage (difficulty level) for each school grade.

There are 3-4 stages (difficulty levels) available for each problem. On the management dashboard, we have a detailed table explaining the difficulty levels. The table can serve as a guide, and you can adjust the difficulty level as appropriate following your students' growth.

How do I turn the sound on?

As the product was designed to be used in a classroom simultaneously with other users, it doesn’t produce sound. However, should you wish to activate sound, you can do so by following the below instructions:
On the ’Problem Selection Screen,’ tap the black arrows to the left and right of the page number in the following order: [Left, Right, Left, Left, Right, Left, Right, Right] (the arrows must be tapped quickly). These actions must be repeated on each device you wish to turn on the sound.

FAQs

What differences are there between Think!Think! compared with the general digital learning materials?

Think!Think! differs from many other apps because it helps users acquire skills and knowledge in subjects such as calculation. Think!Think! is an educational material with a core design that fosters a sesnse of thinking and a motivation to learn.

A sense of thinking is a very important ability for effective learning. For example, a child with good sense of thinking will realize that, when learning multiplication and division, they are in fact, dealing with the same thing but from a different angle. From this, the child will be able to grow rapidly independently. Furthermore, as we live in a generation where anything can be learned online, there is a large difference in academic performance depending on one's level of motivation. Think!Think! fosters a sense of thinking along with a motivation to learn by tackling high-quality puzzles and three-dimensional and graphic problems, all whilst having fun.

Can a digital content be more effective for learning than paper-based content?

Yes! When using Think!Think!, users can take full advantage of digital technology that exceeds the limits of paper-based content. This allows a wide range of people to have access to learn right at their fingertips.

Users can quickly develop a sense of thinking that helps them assemble 3D shapes in their heads or imagine all sides of a cube when it is flat. Think!Think! helps users gain a sense of thinking and visualization through various games where you can rotate objects, cut shapes into smaller pieces, etc., only things that can be done using technology. In addition, Think!Think! Is able to tailor the level of problems to each user and give real-time feedback. This far exceeds the limits of paper-based content and users are able to learn more effectively.

Of course paper-based content has its own benefits, and at Wonderfy, that is why we created WonderBox. WonderBox is a monthly STEAM-based subscription box that combines digital and paper-based content. This is only available in Japan at the moment.

Do you have any tips on how to use Think!Think! in the most effective way?

We recommend encouraging your child in a positive manner.

To develop critical thinking skills, your child needs to be able to say, "I want to try it!" and "I can do it!" It is of utmost importance for your child to concentrate on the problem with the feeling of "I want to do it!" Forcing children to do things they don't want to do or with little interest in is not beneficial to their learning process and, therefore will not bring out their full potential. Focusing on your child's efforts and praising them by saying, "That's amazing!" and "You did a great job!" will increase your child's motivation and they will continue to improve. It doesn't have to be everyday. Even if your child only says "That was fun!" or "So annoying!" you should continue to encourage them in a positive manner.

I'm not good with critical thinking or STEAM subjects, so I have little confidence in my ability to teach them to children.

The strength of our app is that children can work on problems completely by themselves. There are no requirements for parents or guardians to explain anything.

Think!Think! is designed so that rules can be understood intuitively, and the problems are tailored to each child's individual level. Should your child have a hard time with a particular question, you can guide them toward the hint button on the screen.
Each time your children solve a puzzle, they can see a visualization of the problem on the screen. For example, a problem could show how a 3D object is cut to make a cross-section or how a net is assembled. Even if, at first, the concept is difficult to understand, they will gradually be able to visualize abstract ideas and concepts in their head by themself.
If you're a parent or guardian, please encourage your children's efforts by saying, "That's great!" and " Keep trying!"

Is Think!Think! free?

Yes, Think!Think! has a free cours (in addition to paid options).

You can use the free course for one play (three minutes) per day. You will not be automatically converted to a paid course unless you subscribe to a paid course.

About educational materials

What is the target age range?

Think!Think! is intended to be used by children aged 4~10 years.

It's most recommended for children between 4-10 year olds, who are more likely to develop a sense of thinking, however it's also suitable for children aged 11 years and above as well as for adults.

Are problems categorized by school grade?

There are no grade-specific categories, as the problems available relate to areas that are non grade-specific.

Except for a few topics that require specific knowledge, thinking sense is a skill that can be developed at any age. As each problem is tailored to each individual's level and are from a variety of fields, there is no grade-specific course available. Any child is able to learn at their own pace.

Is it compatible with the school's curriculum?

Although Think!Think! does not follow the school curriculum, it develops the foundational skills required for all subjects.

Think!Think! directly develops the ability to use 3D objects and shapes in math. It also develops the ability to "see from different perspectives", "combine things" and to have "a perceptive mind" by imagining invisible information from limited information. It can be said that Think!Think! cultivates the foundational skills for all subjects.

Polishing one's sense of thinking via Think!Think! will be helpful when solving the advanced problems of the junior high school entrace examinations and in accurately understanding what is learned at school in a short time frame.

Why is an app a teaching material?

This is because it's easier to develop your child's ability (thinking sense) at home rather than with paper based materials.

Generally, it's difficult to explain why critical thinking problems (e.g. 3D object and shape problems etc.) are "the way they are", it requires specialized knowledge and experience to be able to teach them. If you try and force children to understand, it's possible that they will start to dislike thinking therefore stunting their potential growth. However, with tablet based educational materials, problems can be chosen precisely based on the child's individual ability. Furthermore, since the 3D objects move on the screen, there is almost no requirement for instruction. Apps are simpler and more effective than paper-based materials for developing a sense of thinking at home.

Do you have any paper based materials?

Think!Think!From Shogakukan (Japanese publisher) the official book of Think!Think! has been released. It's called "The official book for developing a critical thinking sense, Think Think".

In addition to familiar problems that can be found in the app, there are 80 original problems not included in the app. Even if you have experience with Think!Think! the app, you can enjoy this publication with a fresh mind. If you solve all the problems in this book, you will be able to try out one of Wonderfy's extremely difficult problems digitally. This is a book that can be enjoyed by the whole family as a brain training tool, not only for children but also for adults, too.

All of the problems that are to be used in Think!Think! are first verified in advance in research classes. The difficulty level, methodology, and children's reactions are monitored to be able to make effective improvements. Carefully selected problems will be added according to your child's progress enabling them to continue working with a fresh mindset.
*The number of problems available vary according to the selected course.

Is Think!Think! still useful for me even though I have no intention of taking the junior high school entrance exam?

Think!Think! is an educational material that develops the foundation of thinking and creativity required by society, please be sure to give it a try even for children who do not take the junior high school exam.

We regard critical thinking sense as the "ability to independently tackle unknown problems and find solutions". Thinking sense is required in all exams, including employment exams and junior high school exams as these skills are required in human relations and in work after one enters society.

How to use

What does "10 minutes a day" mean?

There is a limit of three 3-minute problems per day, for a total of about 10 minutes of use.

Your child will end each day with "I want to do more!” and will be excited to work on it again the next day. Since your child won’t have to spend a prolonged period of time on the screen, you can rest assured that their eyesight will not be affected. You can use Think!Think! in conjunction with school homework or other activities that your child is involved in. If you are too busy to take part everyday, you're able to change the number of play frequency from "3 times a day" to "21 times a week" from the grown-ups menu meaning you can play all at once on the weekend.

How long should I continue using Think!Think! for?

We recommend you use Think!Think! for at least one year.

The purpose of this educational material is not only to develop the ability to solve the available problems, but also to develop the habit of thinking in daily life and a willingness to learn. At Wonderfy, we believe that it takes more than a year for children to develop the habit of thinking and to establish a good attitude. If your child doesn't want to do something, don't force them to do it, but keep a gentle watch over them, and they will often start again willingly.

Does a parent or guardian need to be present to supervise?

After downloading the app, your child can start learning by themself.

There is no requirement for explanations from parents or guardians as the rules are intuitively understood and each problem is tailored to each child's individual level.

Do you have any tips on how to keep participating every day?

It's effective to incorporate the app into daily life, e.g. “do it after schoolwork” or "do it after getting dressed in the morning" etc.

Think!Think! has a range of features that will make your child excited to do more, so you're able to let go and let the child learn independently. However, until using Think!Think! becomes a habit, it's common for children to forget to do it by themselves. To make it a habit as quickly as possible, incorporate Think!Think! into your daily life such as doing it after school homework or after getting ready in the morning. Furthermore, Think!Think! can be used as a reward for your child as it's an enjoyable playful activity. Think!Think! is an easy to use educational material while balancing other lessons and homework, we hope you enjoy using it.
