Volume 3: Japanese Logic Puzzles For The Secondary Math Classroom
This is a continuation of a spider web log serial near logic puzzles created yesteryear Naoki Inaba (creator of the expanse maze puzzle I blogged about here) that tin give notice hold out used inwards the secondary math classroom. Actually, I regard lots of applications to the uncomplicated math classroom inwards today's educate of puzzles, too. Volume 1 of the puzzles tin give notice hold out found here and Volume ii tin give notice hold out flora here.
Naoki Inaba has published hundreds of logic puzzles for gratis on his website, inabapuzzle.com. Of course, all of the puzzles are published inwards Japanese. This is my examine to brand them to a greater extent than accessible to math teachers because they exhibit potential for smashing applications inwards the math classroom.
I don't know Japanese, simply I adore logic puzzles. I peculiarly dearest logic puzzles that convey math-y applications in addition to roots. These definitely do. You'll convey to excuse my most probable pitiable translations. If yous regard something I missed, delight lave a comment!
Here are the rules:
1. I'll post service a moving-picture exhibit of a puzzle in addition to the solution. The instructions are inwards Japanese.
2. Determine the finish of the puzzle.
3. Figure out how yous could role it inwards your math classroom.
4. Scroll downwards in addition to regard if your thoughts tally mine!
(Puzzles 1-3 are flora in Volume 1. Puzzles 4-6 are flora inwards Volume 2.)
Inaba calls these "Shikaku" puzzles. Google Translate changes the Japanese to "Square Cut."
I've truly written about shikaku puzzles before, simply they looked much unlike than these.
These are basic expanse puzzles. The numbers below each cast tell yous to split the cast upwards into rectangles amongst areas 3, 5, in addition to 6. You powerfulness convey to remind students that squares also count equally rectangles. This ever trips upwards at to the lowest degree a few kids.
This PDF file contains 42 of these puzzles which acquire progressively harder. Solutions are posted here.
These would brand a fun warm-up activity. I retrieve they're peculiarly applicable when learning near prime number in addition to composite numbers. In the inwards a higher house puzzle, in that place is solely 1 way to brand an expanse of 3. It must hold out three x 1. (Assuming 1 x three in addition to three x 1 are the same, of course.) There is also solely 1 way to brand the 5. The 6, on the other hand, tin give notice hold out made equally vi x 1 or ii x 3.
Inaba calls these a "Zukei" puzzle. Google Translate says the Japanese way "Looking for Graphic."

This is a PDF file of 42 puzzles for yous to enjoy. Solutions are here. Because I'm overnice in addition to curious in addition to promise to role this some 24-hour interval inwards the hereafter if I ever learn geometry in addition to I convey a married adult man who is teaching geometry this year, I decided to become to the travail of translating each of the puzzle instructions.
These 42 puzzles encompass the next geometry vocab words: square, rectangle, isosceles triangle, isosceles correct triangle, correct triangle, rhombus, trapezoid, in addition to parallelogram. Here's a Google Doc with the puzzle numbers in addition to the corresponding cast that yous are supposed to draw.
I retrieve these puzzles are a must for whatsoever geometry class! It would fifty-fifty hold out fun to convey kids brand some puzzles amongst other vocabulary words equally an extension!
Inaba calls these "Gemini" puzzles. Google Translate Version: Gemini Formula
I was soooooooooo excited to encounter these social club of functioning puzzles! You convey to insert parentheses in addition to operations in addition to thus that both equations are true. And, to brand things fifty-fifty trickier, yous convey to role the exact same parentheses in addition to operations inwards BOTH equations!
Ready to create these amongst your students? You'll notice a PDF file of 42 of these puzzles here and solutions here. I'm definitely incorporating these into my review chapter for Algebra 1 this year!
