Description

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

Use these puzzles after introducing the two forms, and ask partners to explain how they found the missing numerators or whole numbers. 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.

Adding and Subtracting Math Centers Math Tiles

I normally teach high ability math and my students love the challenge of these tiles! This year, I don't have high ability for math and it was more of a struggle. I wish I had purchased a lower level for my group this year. The high ability and problem solvers do enjoy them!

I used this resource on Fridays after completing the Language Reviews. While my students enjoyed doing the reviews as a class, they did not enjoy the assessments and felt they were too hard, even when i let them use their language review sheets. While this is a good tool for a fast read on how my students are doing, it isn't worth the looks of anguish each Friday.

Do you have a bundle for all of your tiles?

Teacher Thrive

We no longer offer this bundle on TpT because it became too difficult to manage, and teachers didn't get instant access to their purchases. We were able to automate the build-your-own-bundle process in our off-site store, which makes the process a lot easier for teachers and us. If you’d like to receive a discount on multiple math tiles, you can visit https://teacherthrive.com/byob

Will this be updated to include black and white pages like the other sets of math tiles?

Teacher Thrive

Hi MaryAlison! The graphics I used for this set did not have a black and white version. I will be redoing this set with different graphics so that I can include a black and white version. Printing the colored version in gray scale will give you a similar effect.
