My Students
Teaching math is more than numbers. Puzzles and logic toys help children to develop a range of skills, and there are puzzles and logic toys to suit every age and stage of development. Gone are the days where the only puzzles were jigsaws in a box, now there area variety of games and puzzles.
My students come from a diverse set of cultures and they attend a Title one school.
They have limited experiences in general but even less with educational toys and materials. I want my classroom to be a place full of fun and engaging activities and experiences!
My Project
My project is asking for a variety of puzzles and games that will help them develop their mathematical/ logical thinking. This will help them be more prepared for more traditional math instruction in their later grades.
Puzzles and logic toys are activities which require matching, sorting and problem solving to complete a challenge or task. Jigsaw puzzles are the most common version of puzzles, but there are lots of other versions available as well, as you can see in my list.
Puzzles and logic toys help to stimulate the thinking side of a child's brain, and force them to focus on problem solving skills such as process and logic.
They begin to understand that there are several ways to attack a problem, and will experiment with ways which work best for them. The more puzzles and logic toys a child explores, the stronger their personal sense of process will be.
The problem solving skills learn through puzzles can be transferred to every area of a child's life.
