Setting the Stage
A few weeks ago we got Jack a new toy. A wooden puzzle box with 12 holes in it cut out in a variety of shapes. Coupled with the box are 12 colored blocks - each of which match one of the box holes. Here's what it looks like:
He quickly took to the puzzle and has gotten better and better at it. There are several pieces which are quite challenging including a parallelogram and a somewhat random quadrilateral. It is fun to watch him study the pieces a bit before trying to put them in. It has also been fun to see which pieces are hardest and easiest for him....the results weren't intuitive but, after thinking about it, are not surprising... watch and see.
