Title | Sudoku for Reviewing Numbers |
Body | An FLTEACH user suggests the following way to make number dictations more interesting for students: I took a sudoku page and highlighted some of the numbers. I told the students to draw a 3x3 grid and I dictated the numbers to go in the squares -- but leaving one square blank. For that square I said "Je ne sais pas" (I don’t know). Then they were to go back and fill in the blank with the missing number. That made checking very easy. When that got too easy, I started stacking the 3x3's until we had a whole column, took out more strategic numbers (ones I thought they could figure out) and let them solve. I did one column at a time, building across the page, so that they could solve the whole puzzle. I spread it out over a few days at first, but they got pretty good and wanted to keep going. Young, M.
