BRAND NEW RESOURCE! Head Start Maths 10, 100 More and Less Jigsaws are a fantastic way to demonstrate understanding and apply key skills to a wide variety of problems in an independent or collaborative way. Each jigsaw consists of 16 square pieces that contain a combination of Questions and Answers. After cutting out each piece, they need to be placed together in a 4 × 4 grid where the Question on one piece matches the Answer on another piece. The outer edge is left blank. Students may want to complete this as an individual task or work with a partner. Each jigsaw spans three pages: 12 of the 16 Question cards 4 of the 16 Question cards and student friendly instructions Solution Teaching Tips Each student / pair / small group of students will need: - One 16 card jigsaw (page 1 and 2); - Scissors; - Glue; - A piece of paper to stick the solution down after it is complete. Set a timer for around 2 minutes for students to cut out the cards and put any paper in the recycling and return their scissors (this can be rewarded with house points etc). Get students to colour in or write their initials in the square in the middle of all 16 cards so they know which cards belong to them. Set an appropriate timer for students to complete the jigsaw. Working should be done separately either in a book or on a mini whiteboard. Allow students to discuss their working with their neighbour and ask each other questions. Encourage them to share understanding, not just their answers. Cards can get blown away easily. Use small objects (e.g. link cubes or stationery) to weigh down cards so students keep track of their solution! If you have the opportunity to rate this resource, it would really inform me about updating / producing more! Thank you
