There are 20 problems that do not involve regrouping / decomposing and 20 problems that do involve regrouping / decomposing.
For the 20 problems that involve regrouping / decomposing, there are two versions: one with the base-10 blocks of of the minuend not decomposed and the other with the base-10 blocks decomposed. Chose the version that works best for your students.
These Number Puzzles for Third Grade engage students in solving problems using a variety of equations, models, and strategies. Most puzzles include a context, a model / drawing, an equation, and an “answer”.
Simply print each puzzle piece on colored paper, laminate for durability, and cut apart. I encourage students to use whiteboard markers on some pieces. If laminated, the whiteboard marker ink wipes off easily.
