Area Puzzles: Logic and Reasoning Resource

Pupils are asked to calculate the value of the question mark, whether that’s a length or an area. Five puzzles are included with illustrated answers.

The only things to remember are:

• Area = length x width
• Promotes the use spatial reasoning to find helpful relationships
• Integers (whole numbers) are all you need. You can always get the answer without using fractions.

I made this for my Year 6 class as part of a revision session. It is pretty challenging!
