Puzzles are a microcosm of the Brilliant learning experience. Puzzles are bite-sized, simple (at least at first glance), and can be great to spark interest and curiosity in a conceptual topic and more discovery in a related Brilliant course or lesson.
These fun, individual math, science, and computer science questions can done in ~5-10 minutes and they often have multiple solutions, which make them wonderful content for group learning activities, eliciting excellent student conversations.
Educators love using our Puzzles as "warm-ups" to get students thinking! Each Puzzle gives the background information needed for all of your students to grapple with an interesting and conceptual question. They are also great for sparking rich discussions.
Share Puzzles with your students by adding a Puzzle course to your classroom!
With over 1,000 Puzzles to choose from, we've created a spreadsheet to make finding the perfect Puzzle for your classroom a breeze - ****separated by subjects, you can sort by difficulty, filter by relevant courses, and preview the challenge with a short description!
Some of you might have learned about Brilliant through our 100-Day Summer Challenge project a few years ago! It's a fun way to get your students to keep their minds active during the summer and also possibly during the school year.
We have compiled a list of Puzzles that are appropriate for various grades/subjects so that you can share them with your students as extra practice or enrichment explorations anytime!
