Perplexus Puzzle Ball

Superplexus a Big Hit with Middle School Students

ByAmy Limbrick
Perplexus Puzzle BallThe middle school math classes I teach are about 80 minutes long, so I regularly incorporate a “stretch break” of about two minutes. Several students, mostly boys, make a beeline to the cabinet where I keep a Perplexus Maze Game. They love it! I bought several of these about ten years ago for gifts for nephews and other children, but kept one for myself. I’m a bit of a puzzle addict, so I stuck with it until I could get that little silver ball to go through the whole course. If you’re looking for a gift for a fellow puzzle and/or math geek, go for the Perplexus ball.

My husband requested an "eclair cake" for his birthday (yesterday) and you KNOW I am always up for a cake…

Molten Chocolate Cakes

ByAmy Limbrick

I’ve been making quite a few Molten Lava Cakes in the past twelve months because they a) are ridiculously easy to make and b) they are a 100% cure for a chocolate craving. I looked at a few recipes online and even one in an issue of Martha Stewart Living, but I wasn’t really satisfied…
