Addition, Subtraction, Place Value - 1st Grade Math Centers Riddle Activities

This bundle of 24 math riddle sets will keep your students challenged by a wide variety of addition and subtraction topics!

You'll save more than 30% over the cost of purchasing them separately when you buy these riddle sets in this bundle!

Click on any of the pictures to get a closer look at the math center resources that are included.

Here's how riddle task cards work: Choosing from four numbers on each card, your students will determine the answer by solving to eliminate three of the options. They'll be having so much fun searching for the secret number that they won’t even realize how much practice they're getting!

The riddle card sets include 20 to 24 riddle cards each (528 cards in all!), supports for differentiation (like number lines and 120 charts), recording pages, answer keys, and related games.

Several of the sets also include a worksheet version, useful for multiple choice test prep, students who were absent when the cards were used, or your substitute lesson plans.

If you'd like digital options, several of the sets include the same riddles in a projectable PowerPoint presentation, ideal for whole class lessons on your interactive board or for use on laptops and handheld devices.
