Developing a child’s logical thinking is just as necessary as teaching new things, because knowledge is only tools, and logic is the ability to use them. Logic will teach you to analyze problems and situations, find and apply non-standard solutions. Such skills will be useful both in kindergarten and school, and in everyday life. There are many different exercises to develop logical thinking. But if your little one is tired of regular puzzles, offer him some fun math puzzles.
What are math puzzles?
These are entertaining tasks with game elements. Such tasks do not require deep mathematical knowledge and special training; rather, you will need intelligence and observation.
There are a lot of math puzzles. These include logical puzzles, problems with numbers and pictures, paradoxes and probabilities, and much more. They can be simple, which the child can easily cope with on his own, or complex, when he needs the help of his parents.
