SOLVING FUN BUZZ
Read what educators are saying about Solving Fun!
PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Palo Verde Elementary 5th Grade
"Solving Fun has created a safe environment for all learners to do hard work. Their puzzles are fun, creative, challenging, and accessible. The language they use to encourage all learners inspires students to think critically throughout the time that they are with Hillary and Marcy, as well as when they are working outside of the Solving Fun sessions. Their approach with students is to encourage perseverance, resilience, and to embrace trial and error. They teach the kids how to be supportive of each other in their sessions as well. I have been so grateful for Solving Fun for being willing to see past the challenges of teaching puzzling in a pandemic as well as encouraging students to be their own personal best."
-- Jenn, 5th grade teacher
UP ACADEMY
"My students loved our sessions with Solving Fun. Hillary and Marcy met my students at their just-right level academically and it was great to watch my students have fun growing their literacy and numeracy skills through puzzle solving and games. Even more impressive, was watching them grow as teammates and collaborators. Solving Fun is a great addition to any math, literacy, or social-emotional learning classroom!"

"We were lucky to have Solving Fun time during online learning each week. My students were totally engaged in the problem solving fun. They challenged themselves, were willing to try new things and take risks with their thinking and had lots of fun engaging in the different activities. They always looked forward to trying the new puzzles, games and activities."
