논리적으로 생각하자! 퍼즐 클럽

Thinking logically is an essential problem solving skill, and one of the most fun ways to strengthen that type of thinking is through puzzles!  There are so many fun puzzles to learn and students will learn a variety of them through this course.

Each week in this ongoing class, students will engage in solving one type of logic puzzle.  At the beginning of class, students will learn the rules of solving the specific puzzle, and then will work cooperatively to solve it.  I will facilitate solving by providing strategies and assistance, when needed.  

Here is the sequence of puzzles with class on April 17th being Week 1:
-Week 1: Sudoku (using digits 1-9 to complete a grid, no math required)
-Week 2: Binox (complete a grid using Xs and Os) 
-Week 3: Suguru (using digits 1-5 to complete cages, no math required)
-Week 4: Star Battles (placing stars within a grid)
-Week 5: Battle Ships (solitaire version of popular board game - use clues to determine the location of different ships)
-Week 6: Tents and Trees (place tents and trees within a grid)
-Week 7: Nonograms (use clues to make pictures within a grid)
-Week 8: Kakuro (simple addition and logic are used to solve a math "crossword" puzzle)
-Week 9: KenKen - two operations (also known as Mathdoku - logic combined with simple addition and subtraction) 
-Week 10: KenKen - four operations (also known as Mathdoku - logic combined with simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division)
-Week 11: Akari (or Light Up - place lightbulbs on a grid using number clues to illuminate all empty grid squares)
-Week 12: Verbal Logic Problems (using a grid to solve)
-Week 13: Wordle (figure out a 5-letter words based on clues from your previous guesses)


After that, learners will select other puzzles they'd like to learn or we will revisit a type of puzzle again.

*Note:  Learners will interact with the puzzles using Google Jamboard.  Being logged into Google Chrome makes it function better, and if your learner is working on a tablet, downloading the Jamboard app (for free) with make the interaction more smooth.
**Note:  Jamboard is a great way for learners to work together to solve puzzles, but if learners are using the tools in a way that is distracting to other learners, I will have no choice but to remove them from the meeting so that class can continue without disruption.
