Description
Math Puzzles are a great option for your early finishers, math centers, enrichment opportunities, morning work, or even intervention groups. Each puzzle focuses on a math skill. There are 10 pieces to each puzzle. Each puzzle piece has a math problem for the student to solve. Then the student assembles the puzzle by putting their pieces in order from least to greatest.
These puzzles also come with a student checklist. Each puzzle has a title in the upper right hand corner. This is an easy way for the student to identify the puzzle on his/her checklist.
***UPDATE: There is now a monthly math puzzle student recording sheet included in this bundle! Students write the name of the puzzle and the answers they got on the recording sheet. Great for accountability and quick check assessment of skills!***
Each puzzle comes with four options for printing:
Option #1: full color puzzle (laminate, cut, write, & wipe)
Option #2: black and white puzzle (print on bright paper, laminate, cut, write, & wipe)
Option #3: student template (pieces mixed up for student to solve, cut, and assemble into a notebook or on a piece of construction paper)
Option #4: EDITABLE puzzle pieces for you to customize to meet the needs of your classroom

Why I didn’t purchase these sooner I do not know. They are great and students love doing them. I like that you can print in color and black and white. I printed in black and white and then students glued into their notebooks when they were done and could color the picture. It allowed me to work on so many skills with my students.
Christina C. –
These were engaging to my students in so many complex ways! I put them into their centers as review of our math skills, and they kept them engaged and hard at work while I met with small math groups.
Emmalie W. –
These puzzles are easy to print, cut, and laminate. I really like the way that you have the option of colorful puzzles or black and white. I grouped each puzzle with a book ring and hole punched the top of each little strip. I flipped one puzzle piece to the blank side and put that on the front. I wrote the month and puzzle title on that side to organize the puzzles. I am so excited to use these with my students!
Tara M. –
Great math resource! My students love all the versions of the puzzles. I like that there are editable versions so that I can add my own practice problems. Overall a great resource and I would definitely recommend purchasing for use as an independent center.
Nikayla Kniesly –
This resource is easy to use! My students are so engaged and love playing these games. It reminds them of when they used to play math games in class around the room. I love that none of the pieces will go missing and that all students can play at once.

I teach 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Math Intervention. I use this for my 2nd graders to reinforce the learning in the classroom and then for my 3rd graders who have learning gaps. GREAT!
Grace Z. –
These are ingenious! My students always look forward to new ones every month! They are an excellent early-finisher activity and I love the differentiation they offer! 🙂
Carey C. –
I love this resource! I love it for the various concepts it covers. My students love it for the coloring and the puzzle solving. It is extremely interactive for them. I also like that I can differentiate it for my struggling students. One of the best resources that I’ve downloaded that covers each month and the curriculum I am required to teach. Thank you!
Leanne M. –
I use these as centers in my classroom. My students LOVE these and cannot wait to see the new ones. Thanks for creating this resource.

I love putting these out for morning work, an early finisher activity or just something to do for fun. The students love completing them as well. East to differentiate as well.
Brittany M. –
My students LOVE doing these math puzzles! They are a great way to review content as well as practice new material as well. Students have fun solving the puzzle and then cutting it out and putting it together. What a fantastic resource!
The Day Moon Classroom –
The best math center, sub plan, early finisher activity. These can be used for so much! I love that it’s so easy to prep or just print in black and white and have the students add the color. The editable option is also so helpful so I can add in any skills needed – even though this bundle pretty much covers everything and more that we teach in first grade! A great investment for your classroom!
Jessica S. –
My students love solving these puzzles and putting them together for a center activity! I like that there are different types of puzzles that go over various skills for that grade level. I also like that there are options to choose from as far as printing and how to use the puzzles for the students.
Cheryl B. –
I love having my students use these for morning work every once in a while to switch up from their usual routine. It is an easy and fun way to review a skill that we have been learning recently or one from earlier in the year. I have them complete them inside of a notebook in their desks. I love how there are so many options each month to choose from.
Liz P. –
I love these puzzles. They provide great review for the students while reinforcing skills that we have learned previously. They a great for fast finishers, centers, and reinforcement. The students think they are fun so they like to do them. Easy To prep which we can all agree is awesome!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this resource! My students enjoy solving and unscrambling these puzzles. These puzzles make a great resource for student practice and fun when reviewing their math skills!
Amanda S. –
My students loved completing math puzzles as part of their math station work. I am planning on moving up with my students to third grade next school year. I know I will still be able to use these to help review the concepts we learned in second grade.
Jennifer D. –
I love using this resource in our math stations. It covers many different topics and students know the expectation and what to do each time they see it. Having a variety of options, color or black and white, made it super helpful during the last year, when stations looked a little different and students worked more independently. They were still able to use the math puzzles.
Sandra Quenelle –
These were great morning activities when the students were coming in. They could practice skills previously taught and they liked taking them home to show their work.
Brittany Phelps –
These puzzles are so awesome! They are great for math review and/or practice and perfect for centers or early finishers. We are really enjoying these in my classroom.
