Stretch Your Mind

The purpose of these blackline masters, Stretch Your Mind, is to provide individualized activities for the advanced student. Other less able students who are resourceful and willing to explore alternative measures for solving problems may also benefit from these pages. The activities are designed to develop resourcefulness and to challenge the student. The activities require a student to explore possibilities, use manipulatives, measure with tools, draw figures, and make graphs. Answers will often vary with the student and the way he approaches the activity. These challenging activities are not just more problems to keep the advanced student busy. Used properly, they should help him to develop and apply his thinking skills. - To the teacher.
