First-grade students review important math concepts on this fun puzzle-style worksheet. Each page features a small math number cross puzzle. Problems are numbered and categorized as "Across" or "Down." Students complete the problems and write the answers into the puzzle.

Problems correspond to the learning level of students throughout the year, with easier pages at the beginning of the year and more difficult pages later in the year. Some of the types of questions on each page include:

* Identifying smaller and bigger numbers

* Word problems

* Addition

* Place value

* Telling time

* And more!

Some problems have answers that must be combined before they are written into the puzzle. For example, students might fill in the answer, "What number comes right before two?" in the space labeled "a." Then, they fill in the blank to 33, 30 27, ___, 21 to find the answer for "b". They combine the answer as 124, filling in the blanks that are labeled "abb." An example is shown at the top of the page so they can see how it's done.

Puzzle worksheets and games are both great ways for young students to review important math concepts. They can combine different skills on the same page according to what you want students to review. They can be completed independently, but they can also be completed in pairs so students can learn from each other as they work.

Number cross puzzles are a fun way for students to review, as are battleship-style games, Bingo, and completing a maze. Teach students how to complete the game or the maze and update the review problems throughout the year. That way, students can sit down and get right to work because they already know how to do it.
