Perfect for primary classrooms seeking interactive enrichment activities for small group and math center.
In this Math Puzzlers Set #4, you’ll find 15 addition brain teasers (and teacher answer keys) that require students to find which numbers are missing from the squares. ***This 4th set of Math Puzzles take students’ thinking one step and is the most difficult in my Math Puzzles Set.*** There is only 1 way to solve each square, as each row/column/diagonal adds to the same sum.

Accomplishing difficult tasks allows students to develop a mindset of growth and resilience. Students know it’s okay to make mistakes, try the wrong number, or unknowingly defend the wrong number. The sense of accomplishment when students complete a puzzle task (sometimes taking up to 15-20 minutes) is significant. Now, my highest mathematicians beg for these cards and love the challenge. Our motto has quickly become, “Our brains love to do hard things.”

My students really love these. Can be challenging for some of my higher students, which is what they need. I wish there were more 4×4 grids for students to solve.
