Have your students put the puzzles together, sticking them onto a piece of paper/into their work book, then colour them in. • Print out the puzzles, cut them up and laminate them. Use them as a center activity where your students have to look at the numbers on the bottom of each puzzle piece, put them into numerical order to make the puzzle. • Print out two copies of each puzzle (one copy can be b/w), laminate one as a full puzzle (i recommend the b/w one) and then cut out the puzzle pieces on the other puzzle. Laminate the puzzle pieces. Have your students match the individual pieces onto the completed puzzle. This provides a lower ability option for students struggling.
