Think and Solve Educational Program-
Introduction

• "Think Solve" is an innovative educational
  curricula developed by Dilemma Games. The concept
  is to use dilemma wooden puzzles and games as
  educational tools to improve cognitive skills
  among children and adults. Purpose of the system
  is to keep thinking and analysis abilities sharp
  at edge.
• "Dilemma lab" functions as a "Mind Fitness
  Center". It is the physical thinking facility,
  where children can play, have fun, make
  competitions or get trained. The lab also
  provides educational materials (workbooks,
  teacher's manual, syllabus etc) developed by
  dilemma educational experts over the years. Here
  children are guided to discover their greatest
  potential, explore "thinking out of the box"
  abilities, challenge fixed minds and learn about
  decisions-making process that will make their
  future life better.
• The THINKSOLVE Systems and thinking labs can be
  established by different educational institutes
  for multiple targets. They can be part of
  in-school activities (as complementary curricula
  to math and science lessons), or studied in
  weekly session within the school timetable. They
  are also ideal for extra-curricula programs in
  school or after-school activities. One lab type
  can function during an entire year for all
  classes.
• Dilemma Games owns two manufacturing facilities
  and provides a complete range of 600 different
  puzzles and games. At the meantime, On the other
  hand, we supply the Think Solve educational
  package. One may see combination of the puzzles
  with their educational materials in Dilemma Lab.

Think and Solve Educational Program- Vision

• In one sentence, Dilemma Games vision is to
  arouse awareness to thinking process, instill
  thinking abilities and reinforce life skills.
• Throughout the centuries, researches by Greek
  philosophers and mathematicians have shown that
  playing of all kinds is considered as one of the
  best ways to improve a variety of skills,
  mentally and physically. Aplaton is quoted for
  saying that one can study about a persons
  characters in one hour of playing much better
  than in one years conversation".
• "Game playing" can be valued in many levels. In
  the very basic level, games are Fun Only. In the
  deepest level, one may notice all kinds of added
  values of playing games. Take Soccer as example,
  by some it is consider as a games which "22
  not-so-smart young people running after one
  ball", while on another perspective, we may
  investigate Soccers influences on Society,
  patriotism, economy, habits of life, diplomatic
  relations between countries( the famous football
  war in South America on the 20' century) etc.
• DILEMMA GAMES are pros for both attitudes.
  Playing are fun, but behind the fun factor and
  deep into the subconscious, we add extra values
  to the process of games playing by arousing
  awareness to thinking abilities and improving
  cognitive and social skills etc..

Think and Solve Educational Program- Vision

• We firmly believe that teaching children to fish
  well is better than serving them with fish. No
  matter which form of playing, be it soccer,
  basketball, music, or our brain teasers,
  "positive thinking" is a must-have, in playing,
  as well as in life, especially when faced with
  problems (The famous campaign slogan of Barak
  Obama Yes we can)
• We have all heard about "predictions in life that
  fulfills them". Why walking on a narrow plank on
  the floor is easy but when the same plank is
  moved to a height of 200 feet, it becomes a
  challenge possible to only very few highly
  skilled acrobats?
• In our curricula, we do everything to avoid
  negative predictions such as "it is too hard for
  me", "Math is not my thing" or "It is not going
  to work for me" etc. The wise old sentence says
  "It is all about your mentality". It applies
  likewise in games and in life Believe you can
  solve it, and you may eventually solve it.
  Dilemmas THINKSOLVE system teaches the pupils
  to use out-of-the-box thinking methods when faced
  with difficulties and complicated situations of
  life. The students will learn in a fun and
  enjoyable manner through pleasant experiences of
  game playing.

The importance of different thinking- the
barometer story

• Some time ago I received a call from a
  colleague who asked if I would be the referee on
  the grading of an examination question. He was
  about to give a student a zero for his answer to
  a physics question, while the student claimed he
  should receive a perfect score and would if the
  system were not set up against the student. The
  instructor and the student agreed to submit this
  to an impartial arbiter, and I was selected.
• I went to my colleague's office and read the
  examination question, "Show how it is possible to
  determine the height of a tall building with the
  aid of a barometer."
• The student had answered, "Take a barometer
  to the top of the building, attach a long rope to
  it, lower the barometer to the street and then
  bring it up, measuring the length of the rope.
  The length of the rope is the height of the
  building."
• I pointed out that the student really had a
  strong case for full credit since he had answered
  the question completely and correctly. On the
  other hand, if full credit was given, it could
  well contribute to a high grade for the student
  in his physics course. A high grade is supposed
  to certify competence in physics, but the answer
  did not confirm this. I suggested that the
  student have another try at answering the
  question. I was not surprised that my colleague
  agreed, but I was surprised that the student did.

The importance of different thinking- the
barometer story-contd

• I gave the student six minutes to answer the
  question with the warning that the answer should
  show some knowledge of physics. At the end of
  five minutes, he had not written anything. I
  asked if he wished to give up, but he said no. He
  had many answers to this problem he was just
  thinking of the best one. I excused myself for
  interrupting him and asked him to please go on.
  In the next minute he dashed off his answer which
  read, "Take the barometer to the top of the
  building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop
  that barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch.
  Then using the formula S ?t?/I gt, calculate the
  height of the building."
• At this point I asked my colleague if he
  would give up. He conceded, and I gave the
  student almost full credit.
• In leaving my colleague's office, I recalled
  that the student had said he had many other
  answers to the problem, so I asked him what they
  were. "Oh yes," said the student. "There are a
  great many ways of getting the height of a tall
  building with a barometer. For example, you could
  take the barometer out on a sunny day and measure
  the height of the barometer and the length of its
  shadow, and the length of the shadow of the
  building and by the use of a simple proportion,
  determine the height of the building."

The importance of different thinking- the
barometer story-contd

• "Fine," I asked. "And the others?"
• "Yes," said the student." There is a very
  basic measurement method that you will like. In
  this method you take the barometer and begin to
  walk up the stairs. As you climb the stairs, you
  mark off the length of the barometer along the
  wall. You then count the number of marks, and
  this will give you the height of the building in
  barometer units. A very direct method."
• "Of course, if you want a more sophisticated
  method, you can tie the barometer to the end of a
  string, swing it as a pendulum, and determine the
  value of 'g' at the street level and at the top
  of the building. From the difference of the two
  values of 'g' the height of the building can be
  calculated."
• Finally, he concluded, there are many other
  ways of solving the problem. "Probably the best,"
  he said, "is to take the barometer to the
  basement and knock on the superintendent's door.
  When the superintendent answers, you speak to him
  as follows, 'Mr. Superintendent, here I have a
  fine barometer. If you tell me the height of this
  building, I will give you this barometer.'"
• At this point I asked the student if he
  really did know the conventional answer to this
  question. He admitted that he did, said that he
  was fed up with high school and college
  instructors trying to teach him how to think,
  using the "scientific method.
