My Project

Our school has made great strides in expanding access to enrichment and extension opportunities for traditionally underserved populations in gifted education. One way we've done this is by creating groups of students who show aptitude in subjects outside of literacy and math.

These games and activities will improve critical and creative thinking through visual-spatial, verbal, and strategic reasoning.

Students can work in partners or independently to solve the various puzzles. We're excited to hear how students think as they work through these games and stretch their brains in new ways.

Grades 3-5
