What educators are saying
This was a good choice activity and I liked that it had 2 versions for different learning levels. I also made it into a digital activity by snipping the squares and pasting them onto a jamboard.
Description
This "magic square" puzzle is a fun way for students to practice their knowledge of their perfect squares (1 - 625) and perfect cubes (1 - 1000). Adjacent edges of the puzzle will be equivalent, so students must correctly evaluate each radical expression to put the puzzle together.
Differentiation Options:
There are two versions of the puzzle included. The regular version has unused expressions; all sides of all pieces have expressions but they are not all used. A modified version is included with no extra expressions, which will help struggling learners by reducing the frustration while still requiring them to know the material.
Included:
*Instructions and Standards Correlation Sheet
*Two Versions of Puzzle Cards
*Two Version of Puzzle Solution (Cards and answer key have letters to allow for quick visual check)
