Inside Puzzle Challenge Days … Some tricky questions to start the weekend!

With the first term of school coming to an end many pupils will be looking forward to the well-earned Christmas break.

School can be difficult and most children will struggle with at least one subject, teachers report that there is simply not enough time or budget to accommodate each individual learning style.

Puzzle Challenge Days founded by Gavin Ucko help take the pressure off children (and teachers) by running workshops during school hours and celebrates teamwork and different approaches to learning.

But can you answer their fiendish questions?

1) “Sequencing can be something pupils find hard to get to grips with because they have difficulty processing information and predicting the consequences of an action (if I do this, what will happen next?)”

2) “Using the clues given can you work out the answer? This activity boosts thinking skills.”

3) “A classic brainteaser, can you win the championship?”

4) “This task is difficult, visual memory is something we develop over years and most adults struggle.”
