What educators are saying

My students really enjoy solving these riddles. We've used them for both distance learning and in-person when we have a few minutes to fill and they work great in both settings. Thanks!
I use this for the 5 minutes we always seem to have left during lunch. Takes their mind off watching the clock and engaging to keep them busy and thinking.
