Description

Match Stick Puzzles are a great way to get students to think and problem solve. This critical thinking activity is wonderful to generate discussion among peers in small groups, or as a challenge for solo students. Once students strengthen this part of their brain, they will be able to attack any new problem that comes their way.

Click and drag on Google Slides, or use the slide as a guide to set up pencils, straws, popcicle sticks, or whatever you have handy. Students can manipulate items and learn to take risks, to question and discuss, to persevere in solving unknown problems. This skill will carry over into your curriculum and beyond.

This bundle is designed for beginners. It contains 5 different puzzle slides and 5 answer key slides. I recommend you do the first puzzle in a whole group setting (on a smart board or smart tv) to demonstrate the type of manipulations that are allowed, as well as the method of trial and error. Encourage students that it is ok to take risks and to fail in this task. We just keep trying!

DIRECTIONS FOR DIGITAL USE: If you assign this digitally, make sure that you make a student copy and delete the answer key slides, then when you assign it on your platform (such as Google Classroom) choose the option to make a copy for each student to manipulate on their own device.
