Logic puzzle games form the bedrock of children's cognitive growth, nurturing their problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and the ability to think critically – essential skills that empower them to navigate complex academic tasks especially classes that involve math, and life's challenges with ease. This class is the perfect choice for learners who relish a good challenge and have a passion for puzzles. Whether your learner loves cracking complex logic puzzles or is a budding puzzle enthusiast, they'll find this course both stimulating and rewarding. It's also an ideal fit for gifted children looking to further sharpen their critical thinking skills while having a blast with like-minded peers. During 16 weeks, we will meet once a week and learn the basic rules and strategies for 14 unique logic puzzle games. Learners will then work on sample puzzles independently with real-time guidance whenever needed. We will also reinforce what we learn through some mini games created by me! We'll use Nearpod or Google Jamboard for interactive puzzle solving! Our Class Schedule: 1st Meeting: Classic Sudoku 2nd Meeting: Easy as ABC 3rd Meeting: Battleship 4th Meeting: Picture Cross 5th Meeting: Different Neighbors 6th Meeting: Sumdoku 7th Meeting: Star Battle 8th Meeting: Recap of the previous seven puzzles. 9th Meeting: Minesweeper 10th Meeting: Jigsaw Sudoku 11th Meeting: Aquarium 12th Meeting: Numberlink 13th Meeting: Skyscraper 14th Meeting: Crypto 15th Meeting: Snake 16th Meeting: Recap of the previous seven puzzles and the class favorite. - There is no homework, however sometimes practice puzzles might be provided at the end of each class. Solving them is optional. - The class materials are designed to fit within 35-40 minutes; however, sometimes learners would like to take longer to solve their puzzles. They are welcome to stay for an additional 5-10 minutes after the sessions end, but this is absolutely optional and only done if it is okay with everyone's schedules.
