Description
Time to Tile: Addition triangles is a hands-on activity that takes students’ thinking beyond procedures and rote memorization. This engaging resource activates critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and algebraic reasoning while developing a deep, conceptual understanding of addition. Students must place 10 number tiles (0-9) on each vertex of the 9 triangles to match the sums inside of the triangles. Each card provides students with a clue by indicating where one number tile must be placed first.
This resource is now provided in printable and digital formats (Google Slides).
This resource includes:
- 30 different Time to Tile cards
- An “Answer Recording Sheet,” where students can record their answers so they can be corrected later. This allows the resource to be used as a perfect independent or center activity.
- Answer keys
- Management and organization tips for successfully implementing Time to Tile in your classroom.

This resource is absolutely incredible!! I love the idea of the fairytales-like you said in your rationale: it's so much easier to apply these icons to texts they are already familiar with. It brings success to them quicker, and inspires them take on the challenge of applying them to new material we'll encounter through the year. Older students still have that "little kid" inside of them, and I believe my middle schoolers will love revisiting these tales. I cannot wait to begin next school year with this resource! Keep the products coming!!
Thank you for one of the best "feedbacks" EVER. I really do appreciate the time and care you took to leave your response. And, yes, TOTALLY appropriate for middle school and beyond; there are actually some pretty "deep" elements to fairytales that older students can really dive into.
Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
Great book! Thank you for the feedback.
This is a really great resource that is very flexible. I look forward to incorporating them in the fall.
Thank you for the feedback.
Great resource! Planning on using it for group discussions.
That's a great application. Thank you for the feedback.
Probably too complex for my students, but they look great for older elementary.
Oh that's too bad! I'm sorry to hear this. I wouldn't recommend these to grades lower than 4. Please feel free to email me for possible ways to adapt these for your kiddos.

Hi, I can't see where else to put this, sorry if it's in the wrong spot.
Just did the Math Tiles: Addition Triangles with my kiddos today and came up with 2 errors. Card 23 and 28. On card 23, the only way it works, is if the purple 7 (in the middle of the card) is an 11. On Card 28, it seems to only work is if the red 11 (along the right hand side) is a 14. Please let me know if we have made the error or if it needs to be fixed and re-downloaded. Cheers!
Hello! Thank you so much for letting us know. We apologize for this inconvenience. We have corrected the error.
