Children practice deductive reasoning while filling in the numbers. This activity helps them understand patterns and logic, promoting critical thinking as they evaluate possible number placements.
Using Bruner's CPA approach, children first explore the concrete version of Sudoku with physical objects before moving to the abstract grid. This scaffolding supports their logical reasoning by allowing them to physically manipulate numbers to find solutions.
1. Draw a 6x6 grid on a sheet of paper. 2. Fill some boxes with numbers from 1 to 6 randomly. 3. Discuss with your family how Sudoku works – each number appears once per row, column, and box. 4. Take turns filling in empty boxes using deduction. 5. Check each other's work for mistakes and discuss. 6. Celebrate as you complete the puzzle together!
