Bridge the Gap Book Finished 3rd going into 4th grade book

Dear Parents,

The PTA is very pleased to continue to offer a “Bridge the Gap” booklet to every student at

Linton Springs Elementary School. The summer is a great time to relax and spend time with our

families; it is also a time when kids forget some of the things they learned in the past school

year. A little time spent practicing these skills can go a long way to helping them adjust in the

fall.

Located on the LSE website under the PTA section is a “Bridge the Gap” booklet

(http://www.carrollk12.org/lse/pta/programs). Please choose the grade your child is going into

in the fall. This booklet is meant to be completed by the student, however, parental

involvement maybe needed as well. We recommend students work on this book a page or two

at a time. There will not be a grade given to the student for completing the workbook. However,

there is a sheet to return located in each book if your child made an effort to complete the book.

Every student that completes the workbook, and turns in this sheet by Sept 9th will receive a gift

bag. If you have a question please contact Carol Taylor at [email protected]

Thank you and have a great summer!

Your PTA

KenKen puzzle Challenge. If you are new to KenKen puzzles – ask a parent to help get you

started! Some of these puzzles can be tricky! Give yourself time to understand how this puzzle

works!

Rules for KenKen

It's hard to learn the rules all at once before interacting with the puzzle, so just the briefest introduction to the rules makes sense before diving in. Start with a 4x4 puzzle, like the one shown here.

1. The only numbers you may write are 1, 2, 3, or 4. (A 6x6 puzzle requires 1 through 6.)

2. No numbers may appear more than once in any row or column. (That is, all required numbers must appear in every row and column.)

3. Each "cage" (region bounded by a heavy border) contains a "target number." If there's more than one cell in the cage, the target is also accompanied by an arithmetic operation. You must fill that cage with numbers that produce the target number, using only the specified arithmetic operation. Numbers may be repeated within a cage, if necessary, as long as they do not repeat within a single row or column.

4. In a one-cell cage, just write the target number in that cell.

Step 1: Use Rule 4, fill in the easiest cages of the

puzzle. For the puzzle above, there are two the

one-cell cages. Which each have a target value of

4, without an operator! You are right – those

cages are just a single number with no equations

involved – they gave you the answer! The puzzle

now looks:

Step 2: Now we use a little logic. Looking at

the last column, the only full cage has a target

number of “2” and the operator ÷, you know

the only way to get that target value is from the

following two equations: 4 ÷ 2 = 2 or 2 ÷ 1 = 2.

Because of Rule 2, you know that the number 4

can’t appear in this column again. That means

the Gray cage must contain a 2 and a 1 – but we

do not know the order of placement yet.

However, from this – you can now account for

numbers 1, 2, and 4 in this column. Using Rule

2 again, you know the only other number left to

account for is number 3. By deduction this number must go in the partial cage at the top of the

column. From there, you can solve this cage. With a target value of 2, a subtraction operator,

and the number 3 the only possible equation is: 3 – 1 = 2. (Using Rule 1, where each cell can

only contain the numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4).

Step 3: Looking at our top row. You have one

empty cage, with a target value of 2 and an

operator of subtraction. You also can only use

the numbers 2 and 4 (using Rule 1). Looking at

Rule 2, you know that the number 4 is already in

the first column. So, in the first column, the

block must be a 2 and the remaining block of

this cage must be a 4.

Step 4: You can go in any order that you like on

this puzzle. But let’s look at the first cage in the

next row down. This cage has a target value of 3

with an addition operator. Using Rule 1, the only

way to get this target value you have to use the

equation 2 + 1. Using Rule 2, you notice the first

column already has the number 2. From this, you

know the block in the first column must be a 1,

and the remaining block in this cage must be the

number 2.

Now your KenKen puzzle looks like this:

Step 5: That first column and second row have

one block each missing! Using Rule 1, those blocks

can only have a 3 in them!!!

First two rows are done!!! You practice on the

remaining cages! Have fun and ask your parent

for help if you need it!!!

division. Remember to ask parent for help if you need it!
