These puzzles help students to both identify numbers as well as visually see what it means to have "_____" of something.  Ex. 10 is made with a 1 and a 0 and is made by having two groups of 5, 10 of these: I I I I I I I I I I, etc.  The puzzles visually represent the numbers using pictures, tally marks, etc.

Forest Animal Number Sense Puzzles 0-20 This number sense activity with a forest animal theme includes page size color and black/ white puzzles with the numbers 0-20 represented in different ways- number words (0-10), fingers (0-10), tally marks (0-10), ten frames (0-20), base ten blocks (11-20), ten and _ more (11-19), and 10 + _ (11-19).

In this game, students get a set of spaced out numbers on a strip.  Then they get strips of math operations to place between the numbers.  Exponents may only be used for certain grades.  The goal is for students to place the strips in the correct order and for the sentence to make sense.  For 1st and 2nd grade, you would probably just use the + and - strips and gradually add more later on.

This can be played individually or in partners.  Each player will flip over 3 cards.  Then they will say the math signs that go between.  Ex: they pick, 2, 5, and 1.  The player would say +3 (to get to 5), then -4 (to get to 1).  For more emergent students, you may just use 2 number cards at once.

Write out different math problems using addition, subtract, multiplication, and division, but cover up the sign.  Just show the two numbers and the answer like this. 2 __ 2 = 4.  Have the student figure out which sign to use.  This activity will help students practice with knowing which sign (plus, minus, multiply, divide) to use.

This is a fun partner game to play.  Each partner takes turns rolling the blue and red dice.  Then they record the difference between the two dice.  After a 3 rounds, the partner with the biggest overall difference (total difference from 3 rounds) wins!

This is a fun activity for students to play to practice subtraction.  Depending on the age of the student, you may want to use only single digits for it.  To play the game, students draw any 2 cards to be their target number (ex. they drew a 4 and a 5, so their target number could be 45 or 54).  Then the student draws 4 more cards and makes 2 two-digit numbers with them.  The student rearranges them however they want to make 2 different numbers.  The goal is to make a subtraction problem that gets an answer closest to the target number.

These addition fact puzzles are really fun for students as they solve the problems and match them with their puzzle piece.   The puzzle pieces for one puzzle contain different factors for the same number, so students find the answer in different ways.  As students get older, make these puzzles more challenging by giving them 3 or 4 answers at once instead of 1 or 2.

These number dice help students remember what to do to a number when going right, left, up, or down on a hundreds chart to get to the target number.  This can be used as an anchor chart, which has the rules for moving around a number grid, or made into a dice to practice saying "+10, -10, etc."
Ex. the middle number on the dice is 50.

Slide Up: -
Slide Right: +
Down: +
Left: -

This is a helpful way to remind students which order of operation should be put between each side of the dice to get to another side (or number) of the dice.

This game has students color in different numbers in different colors.  Their goal is to identify and then color in all of the same number one color.  There is a key at the bottom that students can follow which tells them what colors certain numbers are.  This game is very helpful for younger students who are still working on identifying numbers.

TouchMath is multi-sensory approach that uses touchpoints on numbers 1-9 that correspond to their numerical value.  (Ex. 3 has 3 touchpoints).  TouchMath helps students learn how to write a number and understand its numerical value (Ex. 3 is I, I, I).

These puzzles are a great way for students to practice solving problems using the correct order of operations.  First, students solve a math problem where they must use the correct order of operations.  Then they find their answer on another puzzle piece and connect it to that.  Then they solve a problem on that puzzle piece and find the answer on another and so on.

This is a great game to get kids thinking about which math operation they should use as well as for adding and subtracting numbers.  For younger students, have them draw 2 cards one-by-one.  The 3rd card is their total.  The student must figure out with operation to put in between the first two cards they drew.  Ex: the child draws a 2 and 3.  Then they would draw either an addition or subtraction card to put in between the two cards.  Finally, they would solve for the answer.  For older students, you can use multiplication instead of division.

Immy is currently loving solving addition and subtraction problems - in fact her maths homework is usually the first thing she wants to tackle in her homework book each week! I enjoy looking for new (albeit simple) ways to encourage her interests and to reinforce what she is learning which is how we came to 'discovering' this game that we call Uno Flip!

How to Play Uno Flip
You will need:

The number cards from a pack of Uno cards

Post-it notes

Paper and pen/pencil

Recommended age: 5+ years
To play:
1. Write a + symbol onto a post-it note and an = symbol on a post-it note and place on the table face up to form an addition equation, leaving room for the Uno cards to sit between the symbols.

2. Divide your Uno number cards into two piles and place piles as shown in the photo above.

3. Flip over one card from each pile and place it into the addition equation.

- For mental maths, say the answer out loud as quickly as you can.

- To practise writing equations, write the addition sentence, including the answer, onto your sheet of paper.

4. Continue to flip over two cards at a time and say or record each answer as above.

- To revise times tables with Uno flip, swap the addition symbol for a multiplication symbol. Proceed as per the mental math or written equation examples above.
Hints & Tips:

Adjust the difficulty level of the game by limiting the Uno cards to those containing higher or lower number values.

Add a level of competitiveness to the game by playing with two players competing to see who can answer to the problem first.

Don't have Uno cards? You can play all of the same versions of this game with a pair of dice.
