Introduction
his book is filled with all types of puzzles to provide your students with hours of entertainment and fun while they learn and practice basic math skills. Youll find mazes, crossword puzzles, word searches, riddle searches, magic squares, and more. As an added bonus, your students will sharpen their reasoning skills and problem-solving abilities as they puzzle over these pages.
Taking It Further Students not only enjoy solving mathematics puzzles; they enjoy and benefit from making them, too. After your students have completed several activities of one puzzle type, give them the opportunity to create their own puzzles based on familiar formats. Choose several studentmade puzzles to copy, and distribute them for the other students to solve.
How to Use This Book Each puzzle is designed to reinforce a basic math skill. At the top of each page, you will see the skill in bold letters. The Table of Contents also has a complete list of topics to enable you to identify the activities that will correlate with your curriculum easily.
Grouping Students can complete all of these activities alone or with a partner, depending on your goals for the lesson. If you would like students to share problem-solving strategies and communicate about mathematical ideas, have them work in pairs. You may want students to use the activities independently after they have completed other work or to reinforce specific mathematical skills. Materials Needed All of the activities require paper, pencil, and an eraser. Brain Rattler (page 38) requires glue and scissors. We recommend that students use a calculator on Exponent Experts Only (page 16), Galactic Math (page 40), and Computer Glitch (page 43).
My students enjoyed making puzzles so much that we extended the idea even further: We had a Math Puzzle Afternoon for which each student created a puzzle. We made ten copies of each students puzzle and placed the puzzles in stacks around the room. The students spent the afternoon going from one desk to another solving puzzles and enjoying math created by their classmates.
Answers You will find the answers for each lesson at the end of the book.
I hope that after using these materials, your students will enjoy solving, making, and sharing puzzles as much as mine did. Enjoy!
