Brain Puzzles

Help me give my students a variety of brainteasers, logic games, and puzzles that will help them build their problem-solving and perseverance skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Drelich's classroom raised $510

This project is fully funded

My Project

The variety of brainteasers, logic games, and puzzles will help my students build their problem-solving and perseverance skills. The variety of puzzles will allow them to boost those skills. My students struggle to solve their own problems. As they work to solve puzzles they will work on their perseverance skills as well as learn what to do when they get stuck. The logic games will help build step-by-step problem-solving skills.

By donating to my project, you will not only help to improve and increase student problem-solving and perseverance skills, but you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
