Math Logic Puzzles and Brain teasers are a great way to start a lesson or use as a brain break. Have them on Interactive Whiteboard displayed as a classroom entry activity.

These can also be used for fast finishers as problem solving tasks. Students really enjoy the Optical illusions which are included in this pack.
Included is 1 PDF which can be easily saved on any storage device. A great addition to any Relief or Substitute teacher’s bag of tricks.
Suitable for middle primary to lower secondary students. (Answers included where necessary.)
