Puzzle Workbooks for Kids - Updated Each Month!

This page contains Greater Than, Less Than Puzzles. These puzzles are a blend of Sudoku and Magic Squares. Each row contains the numbers 1-5 (or 1-6, 1-7, etc.; customization is always up to you). Students determine where the numbers go based on the numbers already in the puzzle, along with the presence of < and > signs. When the puzzle is completed correctly, the signs and numbers will make correct equations. These puzzles are wonderful for developing logic and critical thinking skills. There are several levels of difficulty available, and the puzzles can use either positive or negative numbers.
