Develop thinking skills with puzzles

Singaporeans need to develop the ability to think independent and to solve problems, rather than rely on their bosses for detailed instructions at every step of the way. This confidence and skill can come from a liberal arts education and can also be developed through practical training.

I have created four puzzles (i.e. tangram, shape quiz, einstein quiz and sudoku) that are useful in developing the thinking skills. These puzzles can be downloaded here.  Watch these videos to learn about how these puzzles help to develop the thining skills.

You can buy the puzzle books here. Spend some time to learn the thinking skills and develop the confidence through practice. It is also fun and interesting.

    If I am interested in the Shape Quiz, should i buy the Shape Quiz Book with plastic pieces $6 or should i buy the Shape Quiz Mini-pak 10 paks $15 ? Thanks!

  2. Buy both.
    The book is more attractive.
    But if you have many children to present a gift, buy the 10 paks.

  3. A trainer came to my office to buy 100 pieces of the shape quiz mini-pak. She wanted to use it as an ice-breaker in her training classes.
