Description

Students use the digits 0–9 to find missing angle measures in four triangles, applying the fact that the angles in each triangle add to 180°.

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 puzzle cards in color and black and white
  • 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 a card after introducing the triangle angle sum and have students show how the three measures in one triangle add to 180°. 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.

Fantastic Math Tool

This was great to do in small groups with my students, it allowed them to think outside the box. I loved how they would guess and check to try different methods.

A helpful resources with minor drawbacks for some students

I found this to be an excellent resource, however, my students did not refer to this resource as frequently as I would have liked. I think perhaps the reason for that was because it was "too busy" for them. Some of my students had difficulties finding the exact support/information they needed from the entire sheet. *Note: I printed off the already filled in anchor chart for my students to place in their math notebooks. They did not fill in the sketch notes on their own due to time constraints.
