About Fun Brain Teasers & Puzzles

Notice how these puzzles trick you? That is exactly the point. We design these brain teasers to reveal the difference between rote memorization and logical thinking. When your child tries to solve a matchstick puzzle or a percentage riddle, they stop asking, 'What is the formula?' and start asking, 'How does this actually work?' That shift in thinking is the first step toward getting rid of math anxiety.
