About number searches
This Medium Number Search hides 4-digit numbers in a bigger grid, and now they can appear diagonally too. It's the right step up for kids who've mastered the easy grids and want a real search challenge.
Searching in more directions sharpens visual tracking, concentration, and persistence. Kids learn to scan methodically rather than randomly, a habit that carries over into careful reading and problem solving.
Numbers can run across, down, or diagonally. Work through the find-list one number at a time, scanning rows, columns, and diagonals. Circle each number as you find it so you don't lose your place.
