Math And Logic Problems

to develop logical reasoning and creative thinking
 
A+ Click features a collection of illustrated challenging math problems for students in grades one through twelve. The website has a graduated set of over 2200 problems, starting from the very simple to the extremely difficult. The website also includes hundreds of practical problems and brainteasers.

The problems include a short description and an illustration to help problem solvers visualize the model. The problems can be solved within one minute and without using a calculator. The tests adapt to student ability. To progress to a higher level, you must correctly answer five consecutive questions. The tests concentrate on understanding, spatial reasoning, and problem solving rather than math rules and theorems.
