$3.75
Number Puzzles for multiplication word problems and division word problems help students match a word problem with a model, an equation, and a result / answer. Word Problems are grouped by problem type. There are 35 number puzzles, 3-4 per problem type.
Models for the word problems include groups, number lines, arrays / area models, and bar models. Equations have a letter for the missing number. Multiplication word problems only have the multiplication equation. Division word problems have both the division and multiplication equations.
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.

This is a great resource to use in center or small group times that students have to figure out problems and understand exactly what the problem is asking.
