What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Solve twelve lettered equations like 6x minus 2(x + 4) = 12 and place each x in a sudoku. The directions on the page read: Solve each lettered equation in its work box. Write x in the grid cell with that letter. Then fill the grid so each row, column and thick box has the digits 1 to 6 once. An answer key is included.
Can I use this sudoku variants worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 8th grade math puzzles, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
How do math sudoku puzzles work?
⌄
Students solve each clue first, such as a cube root or a slope, and write the answer in its cell. Then they fill the remaining cells so each row, column and box has each digit once.
What happens if a student gets a clue wrong?
⌄
The grid usually stops working, because a wrong digit will repeat in a row, column or box. That makes each puzzle a built in check.
Which 8th grade skills do the sudoku puzzles cover?
⌄
Clues include zero and negative exponents, square and cube roots, slope between two points, multi-step equations, scientific notation, function values, distance on a grid and systems of equations.
