Calculator Puzzles

Calculator Puzzles are a fun and engaging way for students to practice their math reasoning and computation skills. To use the Calculator Puzzles students must use ALL of the highlighted or shown digits and symbols to equal the number show in the gray display. Students may only use each highlighted digit once. Students will have to use different problem solving strategies such as guess and check to solve the math problems. The Calculator Puzzles will allow students to practice math facts, mental math, and problem solving skills. Even more importantly they are tons of fun for students and teachers! Teachers can print the Calculator Puzzles on cardstock paper and then cut out and laminate the cards for students, so that the cards are reusable. Teachers can also print out each page of cards and use the page as a worksheet. They can be used as morning work, activities for students who finish their work early, as center activities, and much more! The Calculator Cards are also available in an easy or challenge version for addition/subtraction and multiplication/division. In each easy set there are 24 cards. In this free product there are 4 cards from each version.
