Echoing the intent of some articles recently published in the Australian Mathematics Education Journal, we encourage the use of puzzles in the classroom as an effective pedagogical strategy. This blog traces our own experience of discovery and of being led to make connections between the problem at hand and some half-forgotten pieces of mathematical learning. We argue that students are likely to feel motivated just as we were, given the stimuli of suitable puzzles.
