DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
Let your students practice their adding and subtracting within 1000 with this fun Pumpkin Shaped Puzzle. This puzzle will have students put together 19 puzzle pieces to match 28 different addition and subtraction within 1000 numbers.
In addition to the paper option above, you’ll also get a pdf download with a link to a digital pumpkin puzzle that is compatible with Google Slides.
This will help address Common Core State Standards 2.NBT.B.7 and 3.NBT.A.2
This puzzles is meant to be somewhat of a challenge. Students will have to keep in mind the shape of the pumpkin. The square center pieces will be the most challenging. Tell students to rotate them around until they fit. This is where their critical thinking skills will come into play!
There are two options for the puzzle. One option is the puzzle in its full pumpkin shape. The other option is the puzzle pieces separate so students do not know the final shape. This “cut out” sheet is meant to be given directly to the students to cut out and put together so they don’t know the shape. This will be more challenging. But they are no prep – just print and go!
An editable PowerPoint file has been included as a center rubric. A full page option and half page option are both included. Print these out for immediate use, or change the wording and format to fit the needs of YOUR students.
