Sudoku Puzzles: Creating a Positive Experience with Mathematics

Jesse Campbell PictureSudoku puzzles have had a significant impact on my life by helping me develop a love for mathematics when I was young. This lead me on the path of going to school for a degree in mathematics. I believe that my experience could be recreated with others and Sudoku puzzles could help other students enjoy mathematics. I intend to learn how to create Sudoku puzzles, research these puzzles, go into schools and interview students and teachers, administer the puzzles I have created to the students and collect my findings for data. Through these processes I hope to show Sudoku puzzles improve students relationship with mathematics and lin how to use these puzzles in a math classroom as a tool.
