Use multiplication and division to solve factor puzzles. Students arrange the digits 0–9 to complete two 2-by-2 grids built around the factors of four numbers.
Why use Math Tiles?
- Make problem solving hands-on by letting students move number tiles and test their ideas.
- Build flexible thinking as students follow different clues and try more than one strategy.
- Practice perseverance and build confidence by revising a choice when the first idea doesn’t fit.
- Give students meaningful independent practice or have partners explain and compare their thinking.
- Save paper by reusing printed cards and having students record their answers on a separate sheet.
What’s included
- 30 printable puzzle cards
- Google Slides version with movable number tiles
- Student recording sheet
- Answer keys
- Teacher setup tips
- Printable 0–9 number tiles
How to use it
Have partners explain how a factor they placed helped them work out another blank in the grid. For print, cut out the included number tiles or use a set you already have. In Google Slides, students move the tiles in edit mode.

Great Resource
I cannot recommend this resource enough if you are looking for a consistent, stress-free way to assess third-grade math standards! The 36-week layout provides complete coverage for the entire school year, ensuring that no core skills fall through the cracks.What I love most about this pack:Total Flexibility: The fact that it is 100% editable in PowerPoint is an absolute game-changer. It makes it incredibly simple to differentiate questions, change numbers for retakes, or adjust the text to perfectly match the vocabulary we use in class.Reduces Test Anxiety: The clean, predictable format is highly approachable for eight- and nine-year-olds. My students know exactly what to expect each week, which has dramatically reduced Friday testing anxiety.Comprehensive Skill Tracking: It systematically hits all the heavy hitters—from rounding and addition/subtraction within 1,000 to fractions, area, and multiplication fact families.Huge Time Saver: Having high-quality, standard-aligned quizzes ready to print (complete with an accurate answer key) has saved me hours of weekend prep time.It is the perfect tool for standard-based grading, quick data collection, and stress-free state test prep. If you want a structured, reliable, and customizable assessment routine, this is worth every single penny!
Nice Intro Bundle
Great free down load. Offered insight into spiral review.
Love These!
I really enjoyed using these to reinforce our math standards.
A well crafted resource
I am using this with my 5th graders and we're starting from 3rd grade analogies. This resource is great to introduce your students to thinking about word nuance.
Fun and Informative
I love how easy these notes are to use and they are colorful and engaging with students

Is there a Math Tiles bundle or does each need to be purchased individually? Thank you
I do have a build-your-own bundle option:
There seems to be something very wrong with this PDF file. It crashes my preview application every single time, but other files don't crash it. It's also VERY glitchy when I open the pdf using an online browser.
Also, there are a few pages with answers filled in.
Hi Robyn. I made some changes to the graphics in the file, so it would load more smoothly. I recommend opening and printing all of my files from Adobe Reader for best results. I also deleted some of those answers that mistakenly were left on some of the cards. Please let me know if the changes I made help. You can download the new version under "my purchases."
