Do you have students enter your classroom each year with math anxiety? I’m sure you do! Often, students become terrified of math from a young age. When this happens, they struggle to review previously learned concepts and be open to new material. Therefore, teachers work so hard to show students that math does not have to be scary. Yes, it may be complex and contain so much information to learn, but math is actually fun. For instance, the September Math Puzzles and the Math Puzzles Bundle contain so many ways to show students how exciting math is!
September Math Puzzles
September can be a tough month in the classroom! Some students are still adjusting to early mornings. Others are so excited to see their friends that they have trouble focusing. So, teachers have to create the perfect balance in lessons. They need to be educational but highly engaging. Thankfully, these math puzzles are exactly what you’re looking for!
Self-Checking Math Puzzles
There are 4 seasonal self-checking math puzzles. Each has 5 differentiated versions to ensure students work at the level appropriate for them. Thankfully, this means that everyone can work on the same puzzle with differentiation being discreet.
Students will create a picture by cutting apart the nine square pieces and gluing them onto the matching answers. So, this means they will be able to find their incorrect answers because the numbers will not match! Students will feel so proud to find their own mistakes.
Color by Numbers
