Try an example

Introduce the rules with a small grid before using nine digits. In a four-cell row containing 1, 3 and 4, the missing digit is 2. Ask the learner to explain the choice and check the column and box too.

What to check

Choose according to understanding of the rule and available writing space. Sudoku does not require arithmetic even though it uses digits. A learner can point to a cell or discuss choices before writing.

Write only what you can justify

Compare the row, column and box before entering a digit. If several options remain, note them as small candidates and return later. An entry is confirmed by the board’s rules, not by making a row look neatly ordered.
