Problem solving requires creativity, intuition, knowledge, and skill. It also requires practice.
This course dives deep into four mathematical explorations, each of which quickly goes beyond 'rote' learning, challenging you to explore patterns and create proofs. You'll get a mental workout that strengthens your problem solving abilities, especially in logic and algebra.
Apply creativity, lateral thinking, and mathematical skill.
Warm up with these logic puzzles, ranging from simple to mind-bending!
See how a clever perspective is often the key to geometric problem solving.
Detangle the possible from the impossible in these interactive puzzles.
Deduce fact from fiction given assumptions and observations.
Reason out when these statements are true and when they're false.
Explore the peculiar behavior of "If...then..." statements.
See what happens to logic when a "trickster" can either tell the truth or lie...
Wrangle each of the characters in this sequence into one of four crazy categories.
Solve problems in reverse using the rules of arithmetic!
You have only two options for each box: plus or minus.
What are all of the possible results of these equations using only plus and minus?
Concatenation lets you push two digits together to make a two-digit number.
Strategically combine addition, subtraction, and concatenation together.
Can you slide, jump, and flip to transform one pattern into another?
Pause a moment to think carefully and then rearrange these coins from one configuration to another.
The strategies for solving these challenges get a bit more complex.
In this game, not only can the coins slide, they can jump!
In this version of the sliding and jumping and game, things get more restricted...
These spatial puzzles are math problems in disguise!
Combine all of the strategies you've seen to solve this last set of challenges.
Stretch your intuition to new, creative perspectives.
Strategically move around these matchsticks to create overlapping shapes.
Push your matchstick moving skills to the limit!
