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 the cards during decimal place-value review and ask students to point to the models as they explain how they ordered the decimals. 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.

3rd Grade MATH Weekly Assessments MATH Quizzes Editable Test Prep
David Whitney JR

Great Resource

I cannot recommend this resource enough if you are looking for a consistent, stress-free way to assess third-grade math standards! The 36-week layout provides complete coverage for the entire school year, ensuring that no core skills fall through the cracks.What I love most about this pack:Total Flexibility: The fact that it is 100% editable in PowerPoint is an absolute game-changer. It makes it incredibly simple to differentiate questions, change numbers for retakes, or adjust the text to perfectly match the vocabulary we use in class.Reduces Test Anxiety: The clean, predictable format is highly approachable for eight- and nine-year-olds. My students know exactly what to expect each week, which has dramatically reduced Friday testing anxiety.Comprehensive Skill Tracking: It systematically hits all the heavy hitters—from rounding and addition/subtraction within 1,000 to fractions, area, and multiplication fact families.Huge Time Saver: Having high-quality, standard-aligned quizzes ready to print (complete with an accurate answer key) has saved me hours of weekend prep time.It is the perfect tool for standard-based grading, quick data collection, and stress-free state test prep. If you want a structured, reliable, and customizable assessment routine, this is worth every single penny!

A well crafted resource

I am using this with my 5th graders and we're starting from 3rd grade analogies. This resource is great to introduce your students to thinking about word nuance.

Hello-
I purchased your Time to Tile resource on Ordering Decimals. Did I misunderstand? I thought the resource includes the printable and digital versions. I'm having trouble finding the digital version link. I've purchased many of these on your website and didn't have a problem finding the link. Thanks for your response.
