In Math Sixand Pre-Algebra today, we discussed and completed a logic puzzle called a Shikaku. After some modeling, the students developed and listed strategies that could be utilized to solve these logic puzzles. Mr. Giomini then introduced a different type of logic puzzle called a Hashiwokakero. We did not discuss strategies, but there is a video below that will assist in solving the puzzle.
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...
develop two to three strategies that they created to help in solving a Hashiwokakero.
explain and list their strategy using paper and pencil.
For Evening Practice, student CAN...
complete at least one of the Hashiwokakero logic puzzles.
explain and list two to three strategies that they used to assist them in solving the Hashiwokakero.

So i recommend it to people who think they would like something like that...
