This complete set of three
workbooks offers three levels of fun, challenging math
puzzles that provide valuable practice in basic addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division. The books feature
hundreds of reproducible unique math drills with whimsical
illustrations that appeal to both teens and adults.
The reproducible worksheets are arranged into four
creative layouts: Triangles of Terror, Wheels of Torture,
Cross Number Curses, and Grids of Grief. The puzzles can be
solved independently or in teams. Some students will benefit
most by using a calculator to complete the worksheets.
Teaching suggestions and Answer Keys are included in the
front of each book, along with detailed student directions
on how to work each type of puzzle. Progress can be easily
assessed as the drills are used repetitively.
The three levels allow for logical progression of math
drills:
Level 1.
48 pages of addition and subtraction puzzles with 1, 2, 3, and
4 digit numbers.
Level 2.
48 pages of multiplication and division puzzles with 1, 2,
3, and 4 digit numbers.
Level 3.
80 pages of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division puzzles with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 digit numbers.
Puzzle Formats
Triangles of Terror.
Start with the number in the "start" box. Depending on the
level, students add, subtract, multiply, or divide to get a
new total. Write this new total in the second box. Then,
using the new total, add, subtract, multiply, or divide the
third number. Continue in this manner until reaching the
top.
Wheels of Torture.
Start with the number in the box at the center of the spoke.
Depending on the level, students add, subtract, multiply, or
divide using the number in the second box. Write this new
total in the second box. Then, using the new total, add,
subtract, multiply, or divide using the third number.
Continue until reaching the outer edge. Move to the next
spoke and start in the center and work your way out again.
Do all 12 spokes.
Cross Number Curses.
Find the answers for each problem in the across and down
boxes. Write the answers in the matching boxes of the
puzzle, putting only one digit in each box of the puzzle.
Grids of Grief.
In Levels 1 and 2, students need to look at the top left of
the page to see if they are adding/subtracting, or
multiplying/dividing. In Level 3, every number down the left
side must be multiplied with every number across the top.

corner of each worksheet.
