Problems solved using Numbers puzzles:
1) Problem: Difficulty with Early Math Skills (e.g., counting, recognizing numbers)
Solution: Create a puzzle with missing numbers that require simple addition or subtraction (e.g., 2, 4, __, 6). This encourages counting and basic math operations.
2) Problem: Difficulty with Spatial Reasoning
Solution: Design a puzzle with non-standard, multi-sided shapes or pieces that can be oriented in multiple ways. Only one orientation will fit correctly, forcing them to think spatially.
3) Problem: Difficulty with Concentration
Solution: Introduce distractions like a time limit or background noise. This makes it harder to focus solely on the puzzle and reinforces their ability to concentrate amidst distractions.
4) Problem: Lack of Patience and Persistence
Solution: Increase the difficulty with more pieces or a more complex pattern that requires multiple attempts to solve. This encourages them to persist and try different approaches until they succeed
5) Problem: Poor Fine Motor Skills
Solution: Make the puzzle pieces very thin or have intricate details that require precise manipulation. This challenges the small muscles in their hands and fingers to handle the pieces carefully.
