Tanglers Too! will help students develop problem-solving skills while also improving their ability to work cooperatively. In addition to enhancing reading and math comprehension, Tanglers help reduce teacher-dependent behavior by giving students practice relying on their own abilities and those of their classmates.
What is a Tangler? Many of these puzzles are logic problems; some are math word problems. Clues to the answer are written on cards that are distributed among groups of 3-6 students. No one student has enough information to solve the puzzle alone. Students must share their information and work together to reach a solution.
Tanglers Too! is designed for students of grade 7 and above. It offers puzzles that are somewhat more challenging than those in Tanglers.
