Q&A

Description

Looking for fun winter math activities to help your students build problem solving skills? These winter math logic puzzles are perfect for early finishers or in a center. Logic puzzles challenge students to think creatively about math and lay the foundation for problems in which students use variables in mathematical expressions.

Each winter themed math logic puzzle card contains 4 problems using pictures and numbers, where they must figure out the value of each picture. Students use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve problems with unknowns in all positions and work with equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Build students’ problem solving skills this winter with…

24 addition and subtraction logic puzzle task cards
Student recording sheets
Answer keys
Print, PowerPoint, and Google Slides™ formats

All the task cards come two to a page and are in black and white to save you ink! They look great printed on Astrobrites blue paper.

CCSS1.OA.A.1

Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

CCSS1.OA.B.3

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract. If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)

CCSS1.OA.B.4

Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, subtract 10 – 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8.

CCSS1.OA.C.6

Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).

CCSS1.OA.D.7

Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 - 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2.
