Acorn Games and Math Activities
I don’t know about you, but every time I see an acorn, I’m tempted to draw a little face on it. I mean, don’t you think they look like little heads wearing hats? Or is it just me? In any case, kids seem to love the friendly demeanor of acorns, which is why I thought they’d make for great math puzzles. And just wait until you see them. These puzzles make math practice FUN!
Choose from addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division puzzles. Each puzzle, once completed, becomes a friendly little acorn just ready to be colored in autumn splendor. And there is plenty of variety to choose from with your puzzles, making sure that you can match puzzles to the ability of your individual students. That way, no one is bored – or left behind.
And the best thing about these puzzles? They are so fun, kids will happily practice their math skills in order to put them together. After all, we teachers (and parents) know how important practice is when it comes to skill building!
