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 and life's puzzles 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. Every week, we will learn the basic rules and strategies for one unique puzzle game. They will then work on sample puzzles independently with real-time guidance whenever needed. We will also reinforce what we learn through some mini games! We'll use Nearpod or Google Jamboard for interactive solving! Puzzles will repeat after 14 weeks! We are going to cover these puzzles: Week of January 06: Minesweeper Week of January 13: Jigsaw Sudoku Week of January 20: Aquarium Week of January 27: Skyscraper Week of February 03: Snake Week of February 10: Crypto Week of February 17: Numberlink Week of February 24: Picture Cross Week of March 03: Classic Sudoku Week of March 10: Easy as ABC Week of March 17: Battleship Week of March 24: Different Neighbors Week of March 31: Sumdoku - 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 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.
Learning Goals
