Hello, I just saw your post where you mentioned

“Use a digital white board and have the students work in teams to get the best time.”

Most jigsaw puzzles emphasize on speed. Part of it is because, they are displayed in a free-flowing format. However, at jigsawbreak.com, the emphasis is on accuracy. We organize the jigsaw puzzles as a grid where each piece is snapped to the cells. The goal is to arrange the jigsaw in fewer moves. We call this our N^2 jigsaw challenge.

Its nice to have a list of links that kids can access. They play so many games that it is nice to have a few educational ones

Hi Michelle,
I would e-mail the person in charge of your district tech with a link to Jig Zone asking for a bypass code or to unblock that specific site. It never hurts to ask and would be the easiest route to take. Good luck and let us know how you utilized Jig Zone with your students! -Hillary

What if our district blocks the jig Zone as a game?

How do we work around that? Thank You.

My wife is a real puzzler. Uses them herself when she taught and encourages me to use them. It really is such a lift to the students whose intelligence is strongest in that area. Thanks for putting this out in your blog.
