Puzzles teach a child to quickly process data and arrange them in the correct sequence, expand vocabulary and develop memory. The simplest puzzles can be solved by a child who is already familiar with letters and numbers. Solving more complex puzzles with commas, notes and arrows is offered to intermediate students, because such tasks require special knowledge.
There are rules by which puzzles are composed, they can also be used when solving. Consider the main ones.
Rules for solving puzzles
What are puzzles? These are pictures with symbols that can be used to compose parts of words or sentences. When solving, you need to follow the following rules:
- Pictures are read from left to right or top to bottom.
- Names of objects are used in the nominative case in the singular.
- If several are shownidentical objects, then the word is used in the plural.
- A picture can represent only part of a word. Commas indicate how many letters to remove. If the commas are on the left, then you need to remove the first letters, if on the right, then from the end of the word.
- If the object is upside down in the picture, then the word must be read from the end.
- The crossed out letter means that it should be excluded from the word. The crossed-out number indicates the serial number of the letter in the word to be excluded.
- If the letter is drawn next to the picture, then it must be added.
- Equals of letters and numbers also indicate substitutions of letters in a word.
Letter puzzles have their own reading rules, digital puzzles have their own. The most remarkable thing is that such puzzles are very popular with first-graders. Let's take a closer look at these puzzles.
Puzzles with letters
For younger students, letter puzzles will be interesting. Because such puzzles imply knowledge of the alphabet. In such puzzles, the location of the letters in the picture is important, depending on this, the corresponding prepositions are used: in, above, on, under, from. For example, if the letter “o” says “rona”, then the answer will be “in-o-rona”. Addition, connection of letters implies the use of the union "and", and the line of the fraction suggests the preposition "over". If one letter is hiding behind another, the preposition "for" is used. If one letter leaned against another, the options for using "y" or "k" are possible. Puzzles are interesting when a large letter is composed of small characters of another.
Puzzles with numbers
Now let's figure out what puzzles with numbers are and how to solve them. An object can be depicted in the figure, and numbers are indicated above it, which determine the order of the letters in the guess. If the number is crossed out, then the letter corresponding to this number in the word must be excluded. Puzzles for grade 1 often contain numbers that simply replace some of the letters. For example, "ma3tsa=ma-tri-tsa". Kids like these puzzles, they are very simple and fun.
Resourcefulness and the ability to think logically are important skills to develop at an early age. Solving puzzles is a good gymnastics for the mind, bringing both benefit and pleasure. With elementary school children, puzzles can not only be guessed, but also composed.
