Using Roman Numeral: Matchstick Puzzles

Here are 16 matchstick puzzles to give children plenty of practice reasoning about and using Roman Numerals.

There are four puzzles on each page making it easy to cut into smaller, individual, activity/puzzle cards.

The puzzles are ideal if combined with real sticks (match or craft sticks), so the children can attempt each puzzle multiple times. Working with partner would also be beneficial.

While an ideal in-class activity, I know of many teachers who have used these as part of homework or as activities for a Maths/Games Club.
