Puzzle Math Next Generation #1

It’s time for math class, and your students are bored.

It might sound harsh, but it’s true -- only about half of students report being engaged at school, and engagement levels only drop as students get older.

Math puzzles are one of the best -- and oldest -- ways to encourage student engagement. Brain teasers, logic puzzles and math riddles give students challenges that encourage problem-solving and logical thinking. They can be used in classroom gamification, and to inspire students to tackle problems they might have previously seen as too difficult.
