Tips
Start with easier puzzles – Let students build confidence before tackling more complex layouts.
Review how the car works – Show how to wind it up and place it properly on the track.
Encourage teamwork – Have students solve puzzles in pairs or small groups to build collaboration and communication skills.
Ask open-ended questions – “What happens if you move this piece?” or “Why didn’t the car make it?” to spark reflection.
Create a challenge tracker – Let students mark off completed puzzles to show progress.
