These puzzles were inspired by the research and development of both Think Math!, a comprehensive K-5 curriculum, and Transition to Algebra, a full-year algebra curriculum. Both use puzzles and mental models to help students build computational skill, reason logically, and develop the habits of mind that underlie the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice.
Well-crafted mathematical puzzles are worthy of classroom time because they:
• are genuine problems
• support number sense
• encourage logical reasoning
• help students develop strategy in problem solving
• are fun and engaging
• encourage perseverance
