Let students review grade-level math with this fun number cross challenge! Each puzzle features two pages of math review problems. "Across" and "Down" headings, as well as numbers, tell students where to input each answer in the crossword-style puzzle.
A variety of skills are included, like:
* Fractions
* Percents
* Angle measurements
* Coordinate grids
* Measurements
* Rounding
* And more!
Review problems also include negative numbers. For example, students might be asked to multiply a positive and negative number, or they might solve a word problem that includes a negative number.
Some problems combine answers that are written into the puzzle. In this case, space is provided where each digit of the number is labeled "a" or "b" so students can put it into the number cross puzzle accurately. An example is provided so students can see how to do it.
Math review is important ahead of a test, but it's important for students to review concepts throughout the year. This keeps important concepts front-of-mind, which reduces the need for extensive reteaching.
Students can complete review worksheets as early finishers, homework, or extra credit. Puzzles are an effective way for students to review concepts. For example, they could fill answers to problems into a math cross puzzle. You can focus on review skills that you think students need to practice, like negative numbers, decimals, or fractions. They can complete worksheets independently, but they can also complete them in pairs, which can be helpful for students who need extra support when reviewing math concepts.
