Teacher Hints: * I use this puzzle on my first day with any class. It will show you those with gritty determination and to point to the 'learned helpless' among the group. * get the kids to initial all their pieces so if you lose one... you know the drill. * have the students store their pieces in an envelope. * discuss and demonstrate the problem solving strategy of 'constant manipulation' * make some of the puzzles from wood and begin your problem solving collection.
