Calcudoku Cages: 4x4 and 5x5 Cage Sudoku for Kids
Children combine Sudoku with arithmetic. Each cage has a target and a sign: add, take away or multiply. A worked 3x3 example introduces the rules, then a 4x4 and a 5x5 puzzle ask for logic and mental maths together. A warm-up asks which digits fit a cage.
