This is a self checking puzzle that students love to do! You can customize this puzzle based on complexity or time with 4 options to choose from. If you like this puzzle, make sure to check out my store "The Merry Mathematician" for more puzzles and games for math stations.

This Magic Puzzle Board is a self checking set of puzzles that allow students to practice converting units of capacity. You can teach this skill in a variety of ways, though I find using ratios and unit rates to be a wonderful lead in for this topic.

8 mazes to help your students practice rounding decimal values to the nearest whole number, tenth, hundredth and thousandth. These are EASY to set up, requiring minimal time for the teacher. Directions are clear and easy to understand so students can focus on the intended math practice.

A fun game for students to practice subtracting integers! Students place each puzzle piece so that each value is connected to an equivalent value. Pairs of equivalent values should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Subtracting Positive Integers (Outcomes may be negative) Level 2: Subtracting Positive and Negative Integers Two Puzzle Frame Options -Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. -Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations.

A fun game for students to practice multiplying integers with 1 and 2 digit numbers. Students place each puzzle piece so that each value is connected to an equivalent value. Pairs of equivalent values should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Multiplying Integers with Factors -12 to 12 Level 2: Multiplying Integers for 1-2 x 2 digit factors Two Puzzle Frame Options -Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. -Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations.

These puzzles help students use a variety of strategies when comparing and ordering fractions. Sets with like denominators, like numerators, and a variety of denominator combinations to support the use of equivalent fractions and fraction/decimal conversion help students work flexibly to be successful with these tasks. Great for Stations or a Class Wide "Scoot" with Partners! These puzzles are easy to set up and self checking! To set them up just print (two sided), cut them out, and paperclip the sets together or sort into small baggies. Then students can organize them in order from least to greatest. If they think they are in the right order they flip them over and look for the message on the back. If the message makes sense, then they have them in the right order. If not, they should flip them over and try again. A student recording sheet and key is also included! :)

A fun game for students to practice adding integers with like or unlike signs.. Students place each puzzle piece so that each value is connected to an equivalent value. Pairs of equivalent values should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Adding integers with like signs Level 2: Adding integers with "unlike" signs Two Puzzle Frame Options -Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. -Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations.

These mazes are easy to set up and easy to use while providing practice for the skill of finding volume for rectangular prisms. Students are able to see that a particular volume can be reached by a variety of factors that equal the same product. This helps students identify commutativity with the factors. There are 4 game boards included. You can: Print each puzzle board, then laminate and let students use the tiger pieces to mark the correct spaces and the x’s for spaces that do not equal the target number. Or Print as worksheets on a full or half page and let students write directly on them.

Magic Puzzle Boards Multiplying Fractions and Whole Numbers Unit Fractions and Proper Fractions Great for Stations! This is a self checking puzzle since it can only be solved completely with correct pairs touching. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Unit Fraction x Whole Number Level 2: Proper Fraction x Whole Number Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for quick finishers or longer station times.

-Exponents- Place each puzzle piece so that each Base and Exponent (Power) is connected to its value in standard form. Pairs should be made both vertically and horizontally. Great for Stations!!! This is a self checking puzzle since it can only be solved completely with correct pairs touching. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Positive Exponents and their Values in Standard Form Level 2:Negative Exponents and their Values in Standard Form Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for quick finishers or longer station times.

Place each puzzle piece so that each equation is connected to the matching sum or difference. Pairs should be made both vertically and horizontally. This is a self checking puzzle since it can only be solved completely with correct pairs touching. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Adding and Subtracting without regrouping Level 2: Adding and Subtracting with regrouping Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for quick finishers or longer station times.

This file includes a problem solving task, slides that walk students through the problem solving process, as well as tips for teaching problem solving and possible questions for facilitating the task. It is provided as a pdf. as well as a ppt. This task focuses on area and perimeter as students try to maximize the area of a bunny pen for a predetermined perimeter. Students engage in true problem solving as they explore the possibilities for the bunny pen in this version of a classic mathematical task. This PowerPoint includes teacher facilitation questions, a guide to understanding the mathematics in the problem, a scaffolded approach to problem solving, and possible solutions. This is the method I use to help my students engage deeply in problem solving and stretch themselves beyond "number plugging" as many students do when they solve a "word problem". I have included a powerpoint version as well as a printable .pdf to fit the needs of your classroom.

As students engage in authentic problem solving, they learn how to apply the mathematics they learn in the classroom to the world beyond! Students must determine who received a greater portion of a tray of brownies in task. -This task encourages students to apply their fraction sense to determine when and how to appropriately multiply and divide whole numbers and fractions. -Additionally, students will compare two unit fractions to determine which is greater.
