Puzzles to Empower Cooperative Thinking

Thursday, October 9
1:30 PM, Mobile Bay 3

Discover how great puzzles (those that are fun, interesting, safe, and tough!) are uniquely effective at building cooperative thinking skills. Puzzles foster collaboration, critical thinking, and social-emotional growth in ways “regular” activities don’t. Learn strategies to design great puzzles, overcome group dynamics issues, and engage gifted learners in teamwork-driven challenges.
