So often it seems that finding just-right resources for all of our learners is a full time job, especially for our highest group of mathematicians. These are the friends working a grade-level (or two) above 1st grade and the ones who sometimes struggle to show growth on District Assessment programs (STAR, MAP, iReady, etc.). The question becomes – How do I challenge these students and move them forward?
When offering math challenges, students need to apply their math skills in flexible and unconventional ways. Students have to routinely ask themselves “Does my answer make sense?” as well as, be able to justify their answers.
INCLUDED IN THE BUNDLE… (160 PUZZLES)
INCLUDED IN EACH MONTH’S RESOURCE…
The tasks in this resource require students to find the unknown value. When working with these problems, students are intertwining their understandings of addition, subtraction, doubles, missing addends, balancing equations, and
commutative property.
I would suggest using these cards in small group before placing them in a center. Initially, my 1st grade friends panicked. As a group we talked using growth-mindset language and continuing trying numbers until students discovered patterns in the cards and between the numbers. I did want and let my students struggle. If supported too much, these brain teasers won’t be difficult. 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.

A great resource to use when needing to differentiate instruction. I used this to help with students who needed enrichment early on in the year as well as for our number talk time in class.
Dizzy for Kindergarten –
I loved how the skills progressed through the year, and required application of skills taught, not just rote memorization of facts. My advanced learners loved them the most, and I could use a previous month’s cards for those that needed more help/practice.
Megan Jones –
These math logic puzzles are so fun and engaging and encourage my students to stretch their brains!
Christine Collins –
Love that these build throughout the year and have fun seasonal themes. Thank you!
