Try These Brain Teasers With the Kids!

I love using math brain teasers with kids for so many different reasons!

Math Brain Teasers challenge them to use their math skills to solve a problem.
Most kids seem to love being challenged with a brain teaser and are keen to see if they can solve it or even better yet - be the first one to solve it!

I have created lots of brain teaser that use different concepts in math.
I thought I would share some of my favorites with you so that you can share them with the kids!

You can download a copy if you like from Google Docs -

Hope the kids enjoy having their brains teased!
Look out for more over the next few weeks!
