GE Mathdoku

Mathdoku (also known as KenDoku®, Calcudoku or KenKen®) is a type of arithmetic/logic puzzle invented by Japanese math teacher Tetsuya Miyamoto. These mathematical puzzles were intended to be an instruction-free method of training the brain. Whilst aspects of the game are similar to Sudoku, the puzzles offer a more challenging alternative. Mathdoku is suitable for children, but only if they already possess (or want to further develop) a good level of arithmetic skills.

As with Sudoku, the solution to each puzzle requires the user to fill an NxN grid with digits (1 to N). For mathdoku:

・No digit can appear more than once in any row or column.

・The numbers in each cage produce a given target number, when combined using the mathematical operation provided.

・Digits may be repeated within a cage, as long as they aren't in the same row or column.

Daily Mathdokus are a cracking way to keep your mental-arithmetic skills in check. Your problem solving skills at their peak. Perfect if you want to tease your brain cells or even challenge your students.

You could spend your hard-earned cash on book after book of puzzles or even print puzzles from various sources on line. But why waste the money, the time and the paper? Save the trees!
