The learning connection
Using a grid encourages children to visualize relationships between numbers, maximizing dual coding. The challenge of Sudoku promotes engagement through problem-solving, allowing learners to grasp complex reasoning in manageable steps, aligning with Vygotsky's scaffolding principle.
