How to use it

Read every clue or rule before filling anything in. Use a pencil so changes are easy to make. It is one of the easier sheets for Grades 4–5, good as a warm-up or a first look at the skill.

An answer key comes with it as a separate page that grown-ups download after signing in.

Tip for grown-ups: Start with the row, column or box that has the most numbers already filled in.

Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
