Engaging with structured challenges activates cognitive processes aligned with Bruner's CPA approach — children progress from concrete puzzles to abstract logical reasoning, consolidating their understanding through practice and application.
1. Create a series of 5 logic puzzles on paper with increasing difficulty. 2. Start with a simple riddle, like 'What has keys but can't open locks?'. 3. Solve each puzzle, writing down your answers. 4. If stuck, discuss hints with a family member. 5. Track the time taken for each puzzle. 6. Draw a 'ladder' and mark how many puzzles you completed — aim to improve your time!
