This afternoon get-together for solving puzzles will be hosted by Puzzlemaster Hiren Bhatt who will challenge guests to solve a set of puzzles. These serious puzzles are not your typical cardboard jigsaw puzzles. They involve many areas of thinking including math, science, logic, visual and spatial awareness, social interaction, memory, critical thinking, problem solving and other unusual topics.

This integrated approach to math, critical thinking and problem solving is typical at Steppingstone School for Gifted Education and is often absent in a traditional elementary math curriculum, which teaches computation with some application in day-to-day life. Steppingstone along with our Puzzlemaster is pleased to offer this opportunity to challenge children beyond the basics, to stimulate imaginations and expand the boundaries of learning.
