Create Your Own Puzzle

Mathematics has for two long been based around being taught specific skills and students learning them. There has been little creative or exploring, so many children(and adults) never see the creativity and beauty in mathematics.

Create Your Own Puzzle is a simple creative exercise that can be repeated time and time again, as all it requires is a pair of scissors and some card (cereal packet)  Younger children can start with a one cut puzzle and learn how to put a siblings puzzle together, then expand to two cuts and  then three cuts.  Any more than three cuts makes a very difficult puzzle- good for Teach or Mum and dad!!!
