Math Problems & Critical Thinking Through Brain Teasers, Magic Squares, Riddles & Critical Thinking

This class will utilize critical thinking skills in everything we do.  This class is for kids who know the basics in how to read and recognize numbers and can do basic addition and are ready to go beyond the basics to find answers and solutions. 
We will work together to use our critical thinking skills to complete story problems, logic puzzles, riddles, magic squares, and all kinds of other exercises.  We will highlight important information through class participation.  We will discuss what we know and what we don't know, along with any word clues that tell us what type of computation is needed. For different levels, I will remind students of the multiple ways of figuring out a problem and if they struggle, I will provide hints to help them along.   This is a class discussion group so it's expected all students participate together.
