Can You Solve This Normally? is a set of 8 Brain Twist Thinking Task Cards designed to build flexible thinking, creative problem solving and critical thinking skills. Each task presents students with a familiar problem—but removes the obvious solution. Students might need to organise equal groups without counting , measure without standard measuring tools , communicate without speaking or writing , or solve a design challenge without the materials they would normally use . The result? Students must move beyond their first instinct, question the obvious approach and find another way forward. These open-ended thinking tasks are ideal for Grades 3–8 and can be used as quick thinking warm-ups, enrichment activities, gifted education tasks, early finisher challenges, small-group discussions or whole-class critical thinking activities.
