Brain Teasers

Using a brain teaser or logic puzzle is a great way to open a class while giving the teacher time to set up as students work on them. A number of great books are generally available on remaindered tables, but many are available online as well. For instance:

(1) http://www.misronet.com/puzzles01.htm - not too
difficult for the most part - but not enough for a school year. A great
place to start though.

(2) http://www.allstarpuzzles.com/logic/index16.html - many of these are
too difficult - stick to those rated one or two stars for high school
students.

(3) http://www.brain-fun.com/Brain-Teasers/ - these seem to be a fairly
good level for high school students.
