Description
Algebraic thinking is a skill that begins EARLY. Use these addition and subtraction within 20 math puzzlers to challenge your students. Get them talking about numbers, reason abstractly and quantitatively, and build mental math skills.
So often it seems that finding just-right resources for all of our learners is a full time job, especially for my highest group of mathematicians. These are the friends that are working a grade-level (or two) above 1st grade and the ones who sometimes struggle to show growth on District Assessment programs (STAR, MAP, etc.).
When challenging this group, I most often turn to math brain teasers/puzzles which require students to apply their math skills in flexible and unconventional ways. Additionally, they require students to ask themselves “Does my answer make sense?” as well as, be able to justify their answers.
In this resource, you’ll find...
- Math Puzzlers Set #1 - 2 Shape Equations
- Math Puzzlers Set #2 - 3 Shape Equations
- Math Puzzlers Set #3 - Number Jars
- Math Puzzlers Set #4 - Math Squares
Accomplishing difficult tasks allows students to develop a mindset of growth and resilience. Students know it’s okay to make mistakes, try the wrong number, or unknowingly defend the wrong number. The sense of accomplishment when students complete a puzzle task (sometimes taking up to 15-20 minutes) is significant. Now, my highest mathematicians beg for these cards and love the challenge. Our motto has quickly become, “Our brains love to do hard things.”
