SudokuSudoku puzzle which ranges from simple to challenging. This helps the students to be engaged , focussed and concentrate skills are developed. The challenges presented here require patience and persistence to solve. However, they tend to be a bit easier for students who have well-developed spatial-relationship skills.

Value for my studentsThe puzzles are not all solved in the same way, they require a bit of lateral thinking and in fact are a good way of exercising different parts of your brain and different thinking styles. Since it is touch screen based students enjoy doing it fast . The eye and hand co-ordination improves by playing these games. Since these are mobile application they are engaged while travelling and improving their mental calculation and logical thinking. Students can be encouraged to find all of the possible answers for each challenge.

MATHS• It is said that Mathematics is

the gate and key of the Science. According to the famous Philosopher Kant, "A Science is exact only in so far as it employs Mathematics". So, all scientific education which does not commence with Mathematics is said to be defective at its foundation. Neglect of mathematics works injury to all knowledge.

Math Maniac• The game was fun.I prefer playing it on a

regular basis.• I played both easy and hard level.the hard

level was difficult than the easy.

Math Workout The game was quite interesting.I would love

to play this game on a regular basis. I played all the levels and i found the most

difficult level was the math blaster challenge

Puzzle With Matches

• The game was nice.I would definetly would like to play on a regular basis.

Sudoku• I like the a lot.Yes,i would to play it on a

regular basis.

I found Math Workout captivating because this game has got

many excting different types of games to play. These games

are on the topic mental maths and the subject maths are

closely associated. Unluckily i donot have any interesting

experiences with these games.

The games i played last summer related to the chapters

helped me because as i played the games i got the basics of

the chapter and the basics helped me out in deeper

understanding of the subject while in school. Yes, I think

playing games on a regular basis will help me as playing

them regularly will increase the speed of my

calculations.Now it is easy for me to calculate faster when i

do my practise my sums regularly.

GAMES TIME…

Playing these games was a great pleasure and I thank you so much ma’am for the recommendation.

The games were fun to play and I certainly enjoyed playing them on daily basis . Unfortunately I could only reach till the second level in the game of Tower Of Hanoi(4 discs) . The fifth one was a little tough.

FAVOURITES…

I found the Sudoku game extremely captivating as I have been playing this game since the age of eight and I have even had this as a hobby to solve the Sudoku in the newspaper everyday.

It is an extremely valuable mental exercise which triggers our brain and helps us in working methodically.

MY STORY…

This experience made me realize that I still have a room of improvement in the subject of mathematics and also that I have to make my reasoning skills a little better.

While playing the games we can relate to their origin in the chapters that we do in school and vice versa . It is even helpful in the conceptual understanding of the chapters.
