Description: | Designed for classroom use, these puzzles can be used at home as well - and are intended for use OFFLINE. The puzzles “have not been assigned a grade level because the ability to do a puzzle varies more by individual than by grade.” When you get to the site you’ll see a menu of puzzle categories. Here are the descriptions from the website: *Arrangement Puzzles - Move manipulatives or rearrange items according to specific rules. *Dissection Puzzles - Assemble geometric shapes to form larger figures, or break them into smaller figures. *Divergent Thinking Puzzles - Think in ways that defy typical assumptions. *Logic Puzzles - Make sense of paradoxes, move items safely across divides, or complete challenges according to specific rules. *Miscellaneous Puzzles - Paradoxes, games, magic cards, and more. *Number Puzzles - Arrange numbers according to specific rules, look for patterns, or manipulate them to get different solutions. *Toothpick Puzzles - Move, rearrange, and/or remove toothpicks to reach desired outcomes. *Topological Puzzles - Explore geometric properties not affected by changes in size and shape. *Visual Puzzles - Explain why optical illusions and visual paradoxes work. *Get the Solutions - Get answers to the puzzles by clicking on the “solution link” directly below the puzzle. Click on a category and a new page opens listing the newest puzzle posted. You’ll see some history about the activity and directions/instructions. Click at the bottom of the description to print out any game board or other materials you might need. At the very bottom of the puzzle you’ll find a link to the solution. |
