9. Value for my students
The puzzles are not all solved in the same way, they
require a bit of lateral thinking and in fact are a good
way of exercising different parts of your brain and
different thinking styles. Since it is touch screen based
students enjoy doing it fast . The eye and hand coordination improves by playing these games. Since
these are mobile application they are engaged while
travelling and improving their mental calculation and
logical thinking. Students can be encouraged to find
all of the possible answers for each challenge.

37. GAMES TIME…
Playing these games was a great
pleasure and I thank you so much ma’am for
the recommendation.
The games were fun to play and I certainly
enjoyed playing them on daily basis .
Unfortunately I could only reach till the second
level in the game of Tower Of Hanoi(4 discs) .
The fifth one was a little tough.

38. FAVOURITES…
I found the Sudoku game extremely
captivating as I have been playing this game
since the age of eight and I have even had
this as a hobby to solve the Sudoku in the
newspaper everyday.
It is an extremely valuable mental
exercise which triggers our brain and helps
us in working methodically.

39. MY STORY…
This experience made me realize that I still
have a room of improvement in the subject of
mathematics and also that I have to make my
reasoning skills a little better.
While playing the games we can relate to
their origin in the chapters that we do in school
and vice versa . It is even helpful in the conceptual
understanding of the chapters.
