Description

Challenge students to use factors as clues in a 3-by-2 grid. They arrange digits 0–9 to satisfy the factor relationships for five different 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 students compare starting points and explain why one clue was easier to use than another. 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.

Visual Fraction Resource

Even though this resource is designed for 4th grade, it was a great tool for my 3rd graders! It helped students visualize composing and decomposing fractions in a meaningful way. I loved seeing that everyone’s answers looked different but they were all able to reach the same fraction. This activity encouraged creativity, discussion, and a deeper understanding of fractions!
