Kindergarten Sudoku

I just came across a book that I think is a brilliant idea – Kindergarten Sudoku by Peter Isaa Kattan.  I’ve been studying the way children learn for many years, so I appreciate the educational value of this type of book. If children are exposed to logical puzzles and sequencing at an early age, the brain forms important synapses and links which stimulates higher level thinking skills. A child’s  ability to memorize and retain information is greatly increased.

In other words, give your kids lots of opportunities to think logically. Make sure they are ready for school and life. This book has not only number Sudoku puzzles but letter & shape puzzles.

Teaching is so much easier if  you get kids singing and moving.  My students always loved this little Money Rap. It’s just the ticket for teaching coin denomination. Use a rap cadence and have fun with it.  Follow up by using actual coins while singing the rap.

The Money Rap
Well, I know a song, it’s really kind of funny,
It’s all about coins and learning to count money.

Chorus: Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters

Now a penny means one (hold out 1 finger)
And a nickel means five (hold out 5 fingers)
Dimes are worth ten (hold out 10 fingers
Quarters twenty five (flash 10 twice and then 5)
Repeat chorus

Five pennies in a nickel (1 hand fingers stretched)
Two nickels in a dime (hold out 2 fingers)
Five nickels in a quarter (1 hand fingers stretched)
You’ll know it every time.(downward motion both hands)
Repeat chorus

Five pennies make a nickel, Two nickels make a dime
Two dimes and a nickel, make a quarter every time.
Repeat chorus

Four quarters make a dollar and that is quite a lot,
And a dollar in my pocket is exactly what I’ve got.
Repeat chorus

Wow!  That’s a bold claim!  But it’s true.  There are two math subject areas that MUST be memorized or children will suffer all of their lives… addition/subtraction facts and multiplication/division facts. Picture this; your child is taking a math test with word problems and they understand the mathematical procedure of what to do, but as they are slowly counting on their fingers, they miss by one.  The problem is wrong, near misses don’t count.   Plus they aren’t able to finish all of the test because so much time is wasted counting.  Math scores plummet.
