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.

Fabulously crafted roots units

I scoured for a resource that would organize the roots and include plenty of ways to practice using them in meaningful and memorable ways. I love the way these units are laid out! I appreciate that it uses a small number of roots, but helps students by including multiple words using the roots so that they can truly see how the roots can help them determine the meaning of words.
