This lesson is an incredibly fun way to teach logical problem solving and process of elimination. The students don’t really know they are learning test taking strategies, they just think it’s fun.

My students can't wait for the first of each month, it's when they are allowed to work with the right side of their brain. The creative side. It is truly amazing to see what they individually come up with when given the exact same shape.

Thinking Outside The Box – Literally! This activity is a great one to “force” ideas. To show the students they can create new ideas even when they say I can’t. Another fun was to promote creative thinking.
