This is the first puzzle. Here students must start at the only given complete side and use their knowledge of sine, cosine, and tangent to correctly solve for X. They will need to round their answers to the nearest tenth. An answer sheet is included and any mistakes are mine but feel free to correct any mistakes. I have tried to fit 2 copies onto 1 sheet. It’s close but should work.

Circle Theorems & Properties of Angles in Circles. This first challenge is about circle theorems for inscribed angles and other angles within circles. Students will use a variety of theorems to find each missing angle measure. This one is quite tricky. I have tried to make it to scale. Any mistakes are mine.

Circle Theorems & Properties of Angles in Circles. In this puzzle, easier than the first, students will use a variety of theorems to find the two missing angle measures.

This puzzle uses angle relationships (Vertical, Complementary, Supplementary). This puzzle requires students to use angle relationships to find missing measures. Concepts practiced include complementary, supplementary, and vertical angles. Students will also need to know that the angles in a triangle sum to 180° and in a quadrilateral sum to 360° . It would be helpful if they have knowledge of the angle addition postulate. Use it as you see fit and as usual feel free to correct any errors. I have tried to make sure that all angles even if measured are accurate.

In this puzzle students have to use their understanding of angles, those within triangles,; on a straight line, around a point etc to fill in the missing 23 angles. An answer sheet has been provided. I’ve done my bets to make sure that all angles are accurate, Any mistakes are mine. It is provided as a pdf so edit out any mistakes or good old tippex.

In this puzzle there are 95 angles. On the question diagram some clues/hints have been provided. Students will use their knowledge of various angle & polygon characteristics to determine the missing angles. They then record their answer on the sheet provided or record it in books, makes no difference. All angles are accurate and an answer sheet has been provided. Any mistakes are mine and as usual if you find an error you can either edit the pdf or use some tippex or other variant. Any student errors can be addressed in a class discussion so that mistakes or misunderstandings can be rectified. How you use it is up to you.

These puzzles were designed to help students revisit, review and refresh their geometric vocabulary. There are a mix of crosswords and word search puzzles, some are harder and others have hints. These could be used as a partner activity, a class discussion, or an individual assignment. Whatever takes your fancy. Hopefully my spelling is correct but feel free to correct them as they are in pdf format.

Here are 2 sets of puzzles some have hints and clues others are more traditional. Students can either use their knowledge of the periodic table and atomic numbers or have a physical copy to refer to. They identify the words by looking up the atomic number and replacing that with the letter or letters to find the hidden word which they then circle or place in the correct position. I think I’ve got it right but feel free to change any errors.

In these puzzles students use their knowledge and understanding of the periodic table and an elements atomic number. Using the information given they have to decipher the hidden word and then either place it in the crossword or highlight it within the word search.e.g China would be: 6,1,53,11. This uses carbon, hydrogen, iodine and sodium Some of the puzzles have hints and extra information. For an add on, they could record the actual elements used to make the word. Any mistakes are mine.

These puzzles use chemical symbols and atomic numbers. Students use the periodic table to decode the countries hidden in the puzzle. e.g. China = 6,1,53,11 which means Carbon, Hydrogen, Iodine and Sodium. Answers are provided but you could get students to record the elements that they discover. I’ve tried to be accurate so any errors are mine. As it is pdf feel free to correct any mistakes you find.

Here are some puzzles; word searches and crosswords to do with the subject of biomes. Some of the puzzles have hints or use less words to make them a bit easier. Any mistakes are mine. If they’re useful, have at it.

In this word search students will practice solving system of linear equations using the elimination method. Students are not required to multiply or arrange terms to solve these problems. Students are to find the x-coordinate of the solution to each system, locate their answer in the provided asnwers bank and complete the puzzle accordingly. Just for kicks there are at least 15 other words hidden in the puzzle such as: mortal, cast, onyx, radon and foul. There are others. Any mistakes are mine but as it is a pdf, you can edit away.

Students will practice solving multi-step equations and completing a word search puzzle using their solutions. There are 20 multi-step equations; an answer bank provided for students (in word form). Students are to solve the twenty multi-step equations and locate the answers to complete the puzzle. Just for kicks there are some random non mathematical words within the puzzle. Nope, still don’t know how many but they are random. I’ve tried to exclude all dodgy words but if you find any just edit the pdf. Any mistakes are mine.

In this puzzle there are 20 problems and a word search. Students will practice solving system of linear equations using the substitution method . They will have to find the x-coordinate of the solution to each system, locate their answer in the provided answer bank and complete the puzzle accordingly. Hopefully I haven’t made any mistakes. I have randomly added extra non-mathematical words in to the grid, so students could be challenged to find as many as possible and sorry I haven’t a clue as to how many I added. I’m helpful like that.

This puzzle requires the students to convert slope intercept form to standard form. They connect the question to the answer and use that information to complete the riddle. i.e. If the 7 is in the answer that refers to question 7 and the letter that the line goes through should be placed above. Think that makes sense.

These puzzles include word search and crosswords. They are about covalent compounds. The students need to identify the compound from the formula and then write the answer in the grid or highlight the word in the word search.The puzzles all have answers and some have clues to help the students complete the puzzles. Might be useful, might not.

This puzzle activity could be useful for use in Chemistry or Physical Science as a formative or summative assessment of skills associated with chemical nomenclature. A Tarsia puzzle is a learning tool with varying versions to make learning about naming covalent compounds more fun. The 2 versions are similar and use the same compounds. An answer layout is provided as is a table showing the correct pairings. I have also included a half table that students could complete and be used as evidence of the work they have completed.

Use these tarsia puzzles as a fun way to build vocabulary. Students line up the sides of the triangles to match synonym pairs and synonym and antonym pairs. The puzzles should form a perfect triangle in the end! Either students can cut the puzzles out on the lines to begin or they can be precut and laminated. Students can be given the recording table which gives one half of the pair. This can be used as evidence if needed. Students could play individually or in groups or with pairs for added engagement and collaboration! Optionally, time students to see how fast they can complete the puzzles. When assembled correctly the letters at the centre will spell out the name of a specific arachnid.

This tarsia puzzle can be used to review knowledge of converting between Standard Form, Slope-Intercept Form, and Point-Slope Form. Students cut out the triangles and solve the problems they then find the matching answer. Students continue like this to complete the puzzle. If they have done this successfully the letters in the centre will/should spell out a 16 letter word, if I have used the correct spelliing. A solution is provided. All mistakes are mine so please feel free to edit and correct any that you find.

This Tarsia puzzle gives the students practice at solving 1-step inequalities using addition and subtraction. Students cut out the pieces in to individual triangles then they solve the equations and match the qu. to the a. Hopefully I’ve not made any errors, the questions and matching answers are provided in a table and a solution is also given.

This line puzzle involves the students having to solve addition and subtraction calculations on mixed fractions. When the student solves a problem they use a ruler to draw a line from the question to the answer. If the answer contains both a letter and a number they place the letter in the grid at the bottom that corresponds with the number that they found. They repeat this to find the answer to the riddle. Any mistakes are mine and as I’ve made it a pdf, feel free to edit and correct any errors that you find. A solution is provided.
