Engaging with Sudoku puzzles allows children to practice cognitive load management, as they balance multiple rules and possibilities. This mental juggling enhances their problem-solving skills and encourages them to think ahead, leveraging Vygotsky's scaffolding by progressively increasing difficulty.
