Description

Turn multi-digit addition into a puzzle about place value. Students place digits 0–9 in the missing spaces to complete two addition problems with three- and four-digit numbers written in columns.

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 long addition puzzle cards
  • Google Slides version with movable number tiles
  • Student recording sheet
  • Answer keys
  • Teacher setup tips

How to use it

Use a card after a regrouping lesson and ask students to explain how a sum in one column affects the next column. For print, provide one set of 0–9 number tiles per student or pair. In Google Slides, students move the tiles in edit mode.

Wish I bought sooner

I loved how these are just ready to go. I did catch a decent amount of errors as I was printing and using in my room. Every week is very similar and I feel like it covers a lot of the same skills. I will continue to use these as a spiral review!!

Great resource but a little advanced

I love the concept of this resource but I felt like it was a too advanced for my readers. It is definitely meant for stronger, more independent readers.
