2nd Grade Learns How to KenKen!

Don’t worry. You read that right! We are not learning to CanCan in 2nd grade!

KenKen is a type of Math logic puzzle that is similar to Sudoku, but requires you to perform some math operations as well. Here is a link to an explanation for parents.

The students practiced this by using a free app called “Math Squared”. They also practiced another skill, which could be useful for learning Algebra later, called “Math Scaled”. I reviewed both of these on my professional blog today.

In addition to exercising their convergent thinking skills, the students continued to work on their Bridge Powerpoints, and we also read a fascinating book about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, by Elizabeth Mann. Ask your son or daughter to relate some of the interesting things they learned about this magnificent engineering feat.
