    How to Find Help to Identify Gaps in Gifted Math Learning

His notebooks contain hundreds of sketches that encompass science, technology, engineering and math in all of…

    How to Develop Thinking Skills with Brain Games

    As I’ve shared with you many times I have a child who is constantly needing more. He is always consuming brain games, puzzle books, mind-twisters, logic puzzles, and more, very quickly. He has an insatiable desire to gain more knowledge, to be challenged more and to need more mental stimulation. That’s why I try to keep on hand recreational math workbooks. So he always discovers something engaging here and there throughout our home.   I received these Brain Games, recreational math books, for free in exchange for my honest review and am being fairly compensated for my time.  I was not required to write a positive review, all opinions expressed are my…
