Tarsia Math Puzzle: SUBTRACTION (SINGLE DIGIT)

Tarsia Math Puzzle: SUBTRACTION (SINGLE DIGIT)

In this activity, students will practice subtracting single digits, as they piece together the pieces of each tarsia puzzle (5 DIFFERENT PUZZLES INCLUDED). Students will match their answers with a separate puzzle piece until all the math problems have been solved and the puzzle is completed.

These MATH TARSIA PUZZLES are a FUN way for students to practice their multiplication facts that doesn’t involve a worksheet. The puzzle activity works well for individuals, as well as small groups. Alternatively, you can set up stations around the room, and have students or groups rotate to each station for a new math puzzle/game.

This resource includes:
-5 differentiated tarsia puzzles with a different puzzle shape for each
-5 answer keys
-Teacher directions*

Suggestions for using this resource:
-Print multiple copies of each tarsia puzzle and place the pieces in separate plastic bags for safekeeping.
-Print the puzzles on colored paper if you find the black and white version too “dull”.
-Print the puzzles on A3 sized paper if you want the pieces extra large.
-Laminate the puzzle pieces BEFORE your students cut them out. It will allow you to use them for years to come.
-Code the backside of each puzzle piece, so it is easier to find which plastic bag they belong to in case they get mixed up with other pieces.*
