Post SATs, we're indulging in some fun puzzling activities that will improve our thinking skills. The image above links to my husband's old puzzling blog which has explanatory videos and links to the games online.
There are a couple of important key learning skills that can be developed through puzzling: firstly, how to transfer learning from earlier problems to help solve more challenging ones and secondly, perseverance. Stickability (perseverance) is a life skill that we all need to practice, knowing how to apply what has already been learnt helps us out of the 'pit' and takes us on the road to success.Some pupils already have excellent stickabilty whereas others need to develop this before facing a greater range of challenges at high school.
