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 is essential for children aged 6-7, and both parents and teachers play a vital role in fostering this skill. At this developmental stage, children are beginning to understand cause-and-effect relationships and can grasp the concept of planning. Strategic thinking helps them approach problem-solving with creativity and foresight. It encourages them to think about different outcomes and make informed decisions, which can significantly affect their academic success and daily interactions.
Moreover, early development of strategic thinking equips children with the tools needed for collaboration and effective communication, crucial skills in social settings and future workplaces. Activities that challenge their problem-solving abilities foster resilience, adaptability, and critical thinking—qualities that will benefit them throughout life.
By prioritizing strategic thinking, parents and teachers encourage a growth mindset, helping children view challenges as opportunities to learn rather than obstacles. Engaging children in games that require planning, like puzzles or cooperative board games, not only makes learning fun but also reinforces essential cognitive skills.
Thus, by caring about and actively enhancing strategic thinking among young learners, parents and teachers set the foundation for confident, independent, and successful individuals capable of navigating the complexities of the world.
