Similar to codebreaker puzzles, a maths-related word is revealed after completing calculations. Each puzzle contains a grid. Within each box is a calculation or facts and a letter. Students circle any boxes containing errors. Then they assemble letters from the circled boxes to reveal the hidden maths word. Puzzles can be completed individually or in pairs / groups.

Students often forget or avoid checking their work for errors so it’s great to get them carefully checking in these puzzles. Spotting common errors - perhaps as part of a plenary - may help them remember to check their own work and help them avoid common errors themselves.

Thank you for your interest in my resources. I do hope your students enjoy using these puzzles. Please consider giving a review on TES if you get a spare moment. I would be so grateful.
