Interpret Division Number Puzzles – OA2
$4.15
These Division Number Puzzles help students interpret quotients of whole numbers by reading a context and identifying the expression, model / drawing, and quotient. The context describes the relationship of the numbers, but doesn’t not include the question part of a word problem. The focus is on the relationship of the numbers.
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.
