Math Brain Teasers

Why Math Brain Teasers?

Brain Teasers improve problem solving skills.


Dale Robinson, R.N. and a Brain Gym teacher says:

"Children and seniors can both benefit from brain teasers because research has shown that when looking at the brain through an MRI or a CAT scan, brain teasers actually cause the neurons to fire faster increasing brain activity," he said. "That being said, brain teasers can be very beneficial to anyone as can other creative puzzles, movement, dancing, reading, to name a few."
