What educators are saying
We had so much fun practicing with this resource. It was a great way to get the kids talking mathematically and learning/reinforcing the learning with their peers.
This is a great activity to practice adding integers. It is also great that there is so self checking involved. Students will know if they are off on their answers if their answer is not there.

Description
Are you looking for a fun way to review adding integers?
Students love this twist on a boring worksheet.
They are given the chance to cut, arrange, and solve a puzzle.
The puzzle can be completed individually or in groups. There are three size options! Use a larger puzzle to make working in groups easier!
This is guaranteed to be a hit with your class!
How to solve the puzzle:
- Solve each expression to find the sum.
- Match up expressions with their correct sum.
- When matches are found, place the puzzle pieces and work on the next part.
- Make sure that all shared lines represent the same number.
- Once everything matches up, you are finished! Congrats!
Some Tips:
- The text is read along the outside of the triangle. If you rotate your triangle, you will easily be able to read all of the text right side up.
- For every spot that the triangles match up, the expression and sum must match up.
- When two triangles are touching (share a side), they must be a match.
- There will be expressions and sums that are not used. They will end up along the outer rim of the puzzle with no match.
How can you use this activity?
- Independent Practice
- Group Work
- Assessment
- Review
What should you do about early finishers?
- Give students some blank triangles. Once they have finished the puzzle, they can continue the puzzle with expressions and sums of their own.
- See who can add on the most triangles before time expires.
- BONUS: You can now use these cards in the future.
