There are 74 Upper Key Stage 2 (Y5 / Y6) or Early KS3 Maths / Numeracy puzzles worksheets in this hugely discounted bundle and each puzzle focuses on one concept so you can use them throughout the year for consolidation.

Great for differentiation. Many would suit Year 6 Maths SATS revision too. All puzzles are in PDF format.

You'll dip into it again and again over the years, for puzzles to suit a range of classes and abilities from Year 4 up. There are puzzles on different levels and different concepts in each individual pack. For more information see below, or click on the individual resources.

For differentiation, there are additional less / more challenging versions of some puzzles.
Similar to codebreaker puzzles, a maths-related word is revealed after completing calculations. Each puzzle contains a grid. Within each box is a calculation and a letter. Students circle any boxes containing errors. Then they assemble letters from the circled boxes to reveal the hidden maths word. (In the rounding puzzle students find the numbers that don’t round to specified target numbers and in some of the fractions puzzles, students must find non-equivalent fractions etc). In many puzzles there is an extension question / challenge linked to the hidden word, which on some may require a little research if time.

Students often forget or avoid checking their work for errors so it’s great to get them carefully checking in these puzzles. Spotting common errors may help them remember to check their own work and help them avoid common errors themselves.

Thank you for your interest in my resources. I do hope your students enjoy using these puzzles. Please do consider giving a review on TES if you get a spare moment. I would be so grateful.
