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 a crucial skill that significantly impacts a child's academic and personal growth. By encouraging this kind of thinking, parents and teachers help children to not only solve problems more effectively but also to plan, make decisions, and anticipate potential outcomes. Such skills are foundational in improving cognitive abilities, critical thinking, and adaptability in various situations.
For young learners, strategic thinking requires and nurtures their ability to focus, organize thoughts, and work through a step-by-step process to reach conclusions. This development leads to better performance in school activities that require organization and problem-solving. More importantly, these skills transcend academics, preparing children for real-world challenges.
Participating in extra challenges, like puzzles, games, and brainstorming activities, keeps these skills sharp and ingrained. It promotes resilience and a growth mindset, where children learn from failures and persist towards their goals despite difficulties.
Additionally, engaging parents and teachers in this effort creates a synergistic environment that models strategic behaviors and reinforces their importance. By deliberately fostering strategic thinking in children, we pave the way for thoughtful, resourceful, and competent future leaders who can navigate complexities of a fast-evolving world.
