Good morning!
Today we are going to problem-solve with some brain teaser puzzles.
The first one is called Five Circles where you have to place the numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 in the circles so that each line has the same total.
The second puzzle is called Pentadd where the numbers in the blue shapes are the sums of the letters in the red circles. What are A, B, C, D and E?
The last three puzzles are Hexagon Puzzles with increasing numbers to add or subtract. The last one is with decimal numbers. Can you solve all of them?
Good luck!

Today is International Creativity and Innovation Day when we celebrate problem-solving in the context of economic, social and sustainable development. The purpose for World Creativity and Innovation Day is to remind and encourage people to use their creativity to make the world a better place and to make their place in the world better too.
21st April, the day before Earth Day (22nd April), was chosen as World Creativity and Innovation Day to emphasize the importance of using new thinking to create a decent life for all on a sustainable planet.
I have attached a word problem relating to the invention of hopscotch.
Looking forward to your answers!

There are 5 bags of coins and two treasure chests. Your task is to place the bags of coins into the two chests so that the bigger chest has twice as many coins as the smaller. There are 3 different ways to do it. How many can you find?
There are two puzzles attached, one with the coins 1,2,3,4 and 5 and the other one with coins 5,10,15,20 and 25.
Good luck!
