IT'S ABOUT TIME for END-of-the-YEAR CRAZINESS!

These brain teasing puzzles exercise critical thinking & problem solving, build perserverance & stamina, and stimulate the mind.  Similar to Scrambled SquaresTM, these differentiated, logic puzzles must be reconstructed so that the images match on every interior side.

PUMPKIN PROBLEM SOLVING


SQUARE PUZZLERS are fun, yet challenging brain teaser puzzles for kids. They exercise critical thinking & problem solving, build perseverance & stamina, and stimulate the brain while disguising it all as fun. Similar to Scrambled Squares(TM), these printable, differentiated, logic puzzles must be reconstructed so the images match on every interior side. Use them for centers, stations, rotations, fast finishers, enrichment, GATE, and/or a class reward. Adored by all ages.



While the theme of this product is Halloween, the graphics have been chosen carefully to preclude concerns about frightening and/or evil visuals. The icons used are owls, pumpkins (no Jack-o'-lanterns), candy corn, and bats. All objects are presented in rainbow colors, adding to the light and happy feel of the puzzles.



Critical thinking is a TREAT with these fun puzzles!

PUMPKIN LOGIC PUZZLES

 

Fresh from the farmers' fields, pumpkins are logical symbols of this time of year. Pumpkin logic puzzles are refreshing challenges for your learners. 

Use these PUMPKIN SQUARES to see your students' problem solving skills in action. Also known as Latin Squares, PUMPKIN SQUARES exercise deductive reasoning. A great challenge for gifted and enrichment students, they are differentiated, and thus, every elementary student can enjoy success.

The task is to place the pumpkins in the squares so that no color is repeated in any row or column. Students can find multiple solutions to each puzzle, which extends the challenge. The 4x4 puzzle has 576 possible solutions! Pumpkin Squares are the logical prelude to Sudoku.


Create a critical thinking center with PUMPKIN SQUARES or use them to challenge fast finishers. They are now available on TPT's Easel platform so you can even apply them to distance learning. However you employ them, your kiddos will love them!
