In this activity, students will practice rounding numbers to nearest 10, 100 and 1000, as they piece together the pieces of each tarsia puzzle (5 DIFFERENT PUZZLES INCLUDED). Students will match their answers with a separate puzzle piece until all the math problems have been solved and the puzzle is completed.
These** MATH TARSIA PUZZLES** are a FUN way for students to practice their multiplication facts that doesn’t involve a worksheet. The puzzle activity works well for individuals, as well as small groups. Alternatively, you can set up stations around the room, and have students or groups rotate to each station for a new math puzzle/game.
This resource includes:
-5 differentiated tarsia puzzles with a different puzzle shape for each
-5 answer keys

Suggestions for using this resource:
-Print multiple copies of each tarsia puzzle and place the pieces in separate plastic bags for safekeeping.
-Print the puzzles on colored paper if you find the black and white version too “dull”.
-Print the puzzles on A3 sized paper if you want the pieces extra large.
-Laminate the puzzle pieces BEFORE your students cut them out. It will allow you to use them for years to come.
-Code the backside of each puzzle piece, so it is easier to find which plastic bag they belong to in case they get mixed up with other pieces.*

An ANSWER KEY and teacher directions are provided. The Internet scavenger hunt can be done as a whole class, in small groups, individually and even at home as part of distance or remote learning.
This resource is not only google classroom friendly, but also includes printable and editable formats (PDF and Word). Choose the format that best fits your needs.
This internet scavenger hunt was designed specifically for middle school students but can be “scaled up and down” to suit other grade levels by simply increasing or reducing the number of questions the students need to answer.
I have included two versions of the same scavenger hunt. There is a ‘long version’ with sixty questions in total, and a ‘shorter version’ covering the same questions but broken down into three separate scavenger hunts (20 questions eahc). Your students can do all three scavenger hunts or just do one, depending on the time available.
