Each square is a weekday (weekends are skipped). Strong-day squares mean Aanya finished a lesson with an average tier-score of 80% or higher across all 6 decisions.
Each skill is scored across all completed lessons this month. Trend compares to March.
Top skill — distinguishes inspiration from imitation cleanly.
Strong tradeoff thinking on safety calls.
Spots multi-step patterns reliably.
Sequencing improving; estimation work in progress.
Reads adults' emotional cues well.
Sometimes over-explains the easy ones. Growth focus.
"What's the actual difference between inspiration and copying?"
Aanya chose: "Inspiration takes a small spark (a feeling, a question, a setting) and builds something genuinely new on top; copying takes the structure, plot, characters, or specific ideas and just changes the words." (Strongest, 3 pts)
Aanya named the substantive difference, not the surface one — that's exactly the reasoning we want at this age.
"Why is pasteurization considered one of the most important inventions in human history?"
Aanya chose: "It was simple to do, which made it widely adoptable." (Weak, 0 pts)
Aanya picked a true-but-shallow reason. We're working on choosing the deepest answer when several are partly right.
"When you wrote something this week, where did the original idea actually come from?"
"What's a small thing that, multiplied across millions of people, becomes a big thing?"
"Reasoning is your top skill — where in real life did you explain something tricky in your own words?"
Decision-quality drills on choosing deepest-of-several-true reasons (lessons 13, 17, 22).
Reasoning strength — review lessons 11 and 16.
Try lesson 12 from the age-11 set if Aanya finishes April early.
