The learning connection
Sudoku engages children through embodied cognition, where they physically manipulate numbers in a grid. This tactile interaction with the puzzle promotes deeper understanding as they visualize the relationships between numbers and rules.
Try it with your learner
1. Print a blank 6x6 Sudoku grid. 2. Create a list of 6 different animals (e.g., Tiger, Lion, Elephant, Monkey, Giraffe, Zebra). 3. Assign each animal a unique number from 1 to 6. 4. Fill in 10 pre-determined numbers in the Sudoku grid (this can be set up by an adult). 5. Work together with a family member to complete the Sudoku puzzle without repeating numbers in rows or columns. 6. Celebrate your completion by sharing fun facts about each animal!
