Short Notation of Moves Worksheet
To master chess, you need more than just knowing the pieces and their moves - you need to be able to make notations of your moves. To make a short notation, write the piece name and square it moved to; for example, Bd2 for bishop on d2. Pawns don't need the piece name, just the square; e.g. g5. Show your kids how to draw lines to the board for the moves given.

Strategic thinking development in children aged 4-7 is crucial for fostering their cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Parents and teachers should be invested in this process because it lays the foundation for problem-solving and critical thinking skills that will benefit children throughout their lives. Strategic thinking involves anticipating outcomes, considering various possibilities, and making informed decisions, all of which are essential skills in academics and daily situations.
Engaging children in activities that promote strategic thinking—such as puzzles, games, and collaborative projects—encourages them to think critically and learn how to work with others. These experiences not only enhance cognitive abilities but also contribute to emotional intelligence, as children learn to negotiate, empathize, and communicate effectively.
Additionally, fostering strategic thinking helps children develop resilience and adaptability, allowing them to face challenges and setbacks with confidence. As they grow, these skills will be invaluable in both their personal lives and future careers.
By prioritizing strategic thinking development, parents and teachers equip children with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex world, establishing a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success. Ultimately, supporting children in this area is an investment in their future.
