Math Games: Learn to Play Sudoku (Teens) (Dyslexia, ADHD, & Autism)

Join me in playing one of my favorite games! Sudoku is a wonderful and challenging game that builds so many skills, like reasoning, critical thinking, working memory, visualization, visual processing, attention, and so much more! These skills are crucial for life and learning, so join the fun and build some skills while we're at it!

Each week we will play a sudoku game that I have created. We will play games that utilize numbers, letters, colors, shapes, and more, so that we are practicing these skills across many modalities. 

Together, we'll find clues! As a class we'll discuss HOW to find clues, when to write down a guess, when to wait, and strategies for solving the puzzle. I'll engage each learner as they are willing and able to help solve the sudoku on the screen, and students will also have a PDF handout of the puzzle for class. 

Each week we will follow a similar class structure:
introduce sudoku! Practice 4x4 together and learn skills for completing puzzles. 
Once students are comfortable with 4x4, we will practice 6x6, and 9x9 puzzles together. 
Students will work together to solve the puzzle on the screen and/or on their PDF print outs utilizing the skills we learn together!
