Mind Sports
(Team)

What is Mind Sports Challenge?

This is a one-hour activity where each team (same team as Maths Warriors), will need to strategize to solve 8 hands-on puzzles as quickly as possible. Teams will be ranked by the most number of puzzle solved followed by the shortest time taken.
 

Strategies adopted by teams could include:

1) The team solves each of 8 puzzles together.
2) Each member of the team could be assigned one puzzle each to solve.

 

The puzzles are usually put together or take apart metal or wood puzzles, string puzzles, and math challenges with manipulative supplied. These will require the team to collaborate, tap on their combined creativity and problem solving skills to complete these challenges.
