AIMS Puzzle Corner

Activities Integrating Math and Science (AIMS) offers over a hundred math puzzles, categorized by type and difficulty. “The puzzles have not been assigned a grade level appropriateness because we have discovered that the ability to do a puzzle varies by individual not grade level.” Puzzle categories include Arrangement, Dissection, Divergent Thinking, Number, Logic, Toothpick, and Visual . To reveal the solution, click on the arrow below the puzzle. <\/p>\n

Cut the Knot: Interactive Mathematics Miscellany and Puzzles

Dr. Alexander Bogomolny, a former associate math professor at the University of Iowa, describes the reason for his collection of interactive math puzzles: “Without going into research and speculations as to what causes math anxiety I hope to create a resource that would help learn, if not math itself, then, at least, ways to appreciate its beauty.” For middle-school and high- school students, there are algebra, geometry, and probability puzzles, along with dozens of other categories such as Visual Illusions and Analog Gadgets. <\/p>\n

Dr. Mike' Math Games

Dr. Mike’s games are nicely organized by grade level (K through 7), category (Magic Squares, Times Tables, Fractions) and type (Printable, Online and Calculator.) The online games include arcade-style shoot ’em ups, quizzes, flashcards, and a Weekly Math Puzzle gadget you can add to your Google homepage.
