I Spy

Visual Puzzles:

Which Parking Spot?

This visual brainteaser was spotted on a Hong Kong first-grade student admissions test, and it’s a great puzzle to encourage children to think laterally. Can you work it out? Apparently, children around the age of 6 are much more likely to solve this problem than older students and even adults.

Move one glass only…

In this visual brainteaser, students can see three glasses on the left that are full and three on the right that are empty. If they make one small change, they can make a row of alternately full and empty glasses, but they only do one change! What do they have to do?

Make 10

The matchstick test is a great problem-solving brainteaser. Students need to remove six matches to make 10. Which ones do they move?
