My YouTube feed tends to include at least one algebra or geometry brain teaser a day. So far, I haven’t successfully solved one. 😕. But I have learned something about myself. My initial attempt(s) involve intuitive thinking where I think I can solve the problem (puzzle?) quickly. I get frustrated when I can’t get the correct answer. These kinds of problems require deeper, more logical thinking. And perhaps more trial and error in terms of realizing the approach to the solution is likely not obvious at first.

I’ll keep plugging away. While is frustrating not to be able to find the correct answer, it is a good challenge to continue to try!
