I LOVE seeing the creativity of teachers. Everyone is so different and takes a different spin on ideas to make it their own and to fit their classroom style and needs. I first made this Sudoku Interactive Bulletin Board back in 2014. I have tweaked it a few times after figuring out what worked and didn't work so it makes me SO incredibly happy to see how you teachers out there are making it work for your classrooms!
Here are some pictures below that teachers have tagged me in on Instagram of their versions of the Sudoku Interactive Bulletin Board. Thank you to all the teachers who have shared their amazing classrooms with me!
Ms. Hayley has a great poster version!
Ms. Megan used colorful washi tape as border!
Mr. Matt shows that even male teachers can have a colorful board!
Ms. Megan has a cute fabric banner to compliment her board! Look at all those students!
Mrs. Manley found a small area of a cabinet that worked perfectly! The hanging baskets are a great way to store the extra pieces!
Ms. Catherine incorporated her Harry Potter theme into her board!
Ms. Brittany used page protectors to store her extra pieces and the black border tape makes it pop!
Rocky Mountain Classroom used great colors! Look at those students!!
Ms. Welldone did a great job using tissue paper flowers to accent her board!
mrsbp_bhs used magnets on the back and put her board on a whiteboard! So smart! I love how she used different colors for the 3x3 grids!
Ms. Campbell used a pocket chart to hold her extra pieces and space on a door for her board!
math.coffee.and.fun shared how she uses her board in her classroom saying the following:
"Our classroom interactive Sudoku board. I have always loved Sudoku puzzles and would try to take a day each school year to teach my students how to complete one. Many of them have a first reaction of, “I don’t know how to do those. They look too confusing and they have to do with math.” I promise them that they will be able to complete one by the end of class (I always start one with the class, let those who know what they are doing take off on their own, and will continue to work through it with those that are fearful to do it on their own) and that it isn’t as math heavy as they think (a little white lie 🤫). When I saw the Sudoku board by @activityaftermath I knew that I had to have it in my intervention room. My students who tend to struggle with math or have low math confidence were really reluctant to try it, but now we are on our 3rd puzzle in a matter of a month and a few of them even told me that they have downloaded a Sudoku app on their phone. I love that it creates an interactive board for each of my classes to build upon and it is another tool that I use to trick my students into loving numbers! 😉"
Thank you so much for supporting me and sharing your classrooms! I'd love to see your Sudoku Boards as well! You can tag me on Instagram @activityaftermath or email them to me at activityaftermath@gmail.com. I'll add them to this post!

I love these ideas! How is the best way to print out the grid? Do you put up a new Sudoku every day ?
ReplyDeleteThank you! The grid is printed 9 times on regular 8.5x11 size paper. You piece them together to make the large board! I put up a new one once one is finished. Sometimes it doesn't take long to complete and sometimes it can take up to a week. This depends on the level of difficulty of the puzzle and how much free time we have to work on the puzzle. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
