    • Mathematical puzzles support problem solving, algebraic reasoning, and the Common Core's first Standard for Mathematical Practice ("Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them"). Students enjoy the challenges of problem solving and learn to organize the given information with their own discoveries. Discover how students become producers of mathematics as they build their own mathematical puzzles to share.
