Sudoku engages children in structured problem solving, enhancing their cognitive skills through pattern recognition. By physically writing in a grid and attempting to fill it based on rules, children experience Vygotsky's scaffolding, where they gradually build up their strategies for solving complex problems.
1. Draw a 6x6 grid on paper with 36 squares. 2. Fill in 10 numbers randomly ensuring no duplicates in rows or columns. 3. Give the grid to a family member to solve, while you solve another. 4. Take turns checking each other’s solutions for accuracy. 5. Swap grids and try to solve a new puzzle. 6. Discuss strategies: What helped you figure out where to place numbers?
