Choose one of the following categories of printable Sudoku puzzles.

Sudoku is a great skill building game originating from Japan. Millions of people around the world play Sudoku everyday and it's said that once the bug gets you, you're hooked for life!

Sudoku is not exactly a mathematics game, but most of us are using them in our classrooms anyway! Sudoku is a logic game and logic skills are very welcome to math teachers and students!

There are quite some variations in the Sudoku layouts, but we feel that the simple 9 by 9 game is the most effective! For beginning players, or young kids, we would advice the easier 4 by 4 or 6 by 6 variations! Some people even play 16 by 16 games, but these are too difficult for most of us (they are for me!).

The rules are actually very easy. Let's keep the 9 by 9 Sudoku in mind. The numbers 1 to 9 (it's a 9 by 9 game) must be filled in each row, column and box. This box will be a 3 by 3 box in the 9 by 9 variation of Sudoku! Each number can and must be filled in only once! The normal 9 by 9 version looks like follows:

Each puzzle will already have numbers filled in depending on the difficulty level. The more numbers already filled in, the easier most likely. Sudoku puzzles are often divided into categories such as very easy, easy, medium, hard and very hard. Some publishers use the star system; 1 star stands for very easy and 5 stars for very hard.

There's a lot of discussion going on online about one very important strategy of the game! Don't ever, we really mean ever ever guess! If you start guessing you will end up with doubles in your rows, columns and boxes. Think logically what is possible and especially what is not possible!

Teachers should ensure that the learning environment is safe and supportive for all pupils during viewing, especially when they are asked to share ideas, feelings and emotions.

Ensure the environment is safe and supportive by:

discussing/reminding pupils of ground rules. Pupils should feel confident that anything they share is valued and not judged by staff or classmates. Negotiate or reiterate agreed ground rules for discussion and behaviour before viewing.

being sensitive and aware that there may be pupils who express difficult emotions, or become distressed. Sensitivity is important even if you are not aware of any existing personal circumstances in the class - always work on the basis that there is at least one child who may be vulnerable, or not feeling okay. You may wish to notify members of staff such as the school counsellor, teaching assistants and designated safeguarding lead of programme content before viewing. You may also wish to provide comfort items, or a safe space for anyone who does become distressed. Please pay particular attention to any students known to be living with mental ill-health or other vulnerabilities.

offering reassurance: Pupils should not feel under pressure to share their ideas, feelings or emotions publicly if they do not want to do so. Consider providing an alternative, anonymous way to share feelings, such as a closed box or post-its.

following up: make yourself available for pupils if they want to discuss anything with you afterwards, and ensure pupils know where else they can get support, both in and out of school. If necessary, consider providing a safe and private space for pupils who may experience difficult emotions, and discuss their reactions with parents if this is appropriate.

ensuring you follow your school's safeguarding and confidentiality policies and procedures; this is especially important if a pupil says anything that causes you concern, or makes a disclosure. If you are unsure of the procedures, seek advice from your Designated Safeguarding Lead, or contact the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.

For further detail on establishing safe teaching and learning procedures, see guidance offered by the PSHE Association .

I have been using Language Angels for about 6 years now. As a non-specialist language teacher, it is absolutely brilliant. My Spanish has improved greatly, and I am now much more confident in delivering the lessons to the students. Everything you need for the lesson is there for you, the plan, PowerPoint, activities, which are differentiated, songs and assessment opportunities. The children enjoy it and enjoy learning the songs with each lesson or topic. In our recent Ofsted inspection, the inspector liked how it allowed all the children to listen and speak in Spanish, learning basic words and phrases, and how it progressed to long, more complex sentences as they developed their understanding. I would highly recommend Language Angels to anyone who is looking to develop languages within their school.

Children will also hear from a cohort of celebrated professionals including celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal on introducing taste and explorer Levison Wood on what inspired him to travel the World.
All this is topped off by celebrities including; international cricketer Ryan Sidebottom, Britain’s Got Talent Winner Jai McDowall and ITV’s The Dales Amanda Owen - all giving ideas and perspectives on how to use all this extra time at home.
Finally, in an extended video – visit Jay Blades of BBC’s The Repair Shop in his workshop as he gives a beginners guide to upcycling.
