Number Tiles: FREE Problem Solving Activities for the Primary Grades

SELLER
This FREE Number Tiles resource is a ten page booklet containing six different math problem solving activities for the primary grades. The activities extend from simple counting, to greater than or less than to solving addition and subtraction problems. Since the students do not write on the pages, they can be copied and laminated so they can be used from year to year. Students solve the Number Tile Math Activities by arranging ten number tiles.
The number tiles can be made from construction paper, cardboard, or square colored tiles. (How to make the number tiles is included in the handout.) Each activity is on a single page, and varies in difficulty. Since the students have the freedom to move the tiles around, they are more engaged and more willing to try multiple methods to find the solution.
These activities are suitable for the visual and/or kinesthetic learner.

Love this hands-on packet! The students would love using these sheets and the number tiles during centers. I love that I could reuse the papers after laminating them or putting them in a clear sleeve. I love how it comes with directions. Very clear on what to do with the packet. Thanks!

My students will love these activities. They like activities where they use manipulatives rather than a pencil. Love your ideas, especially giving each group a different color set of number tiles. Thanks for your generosity with the "freebie". :) Linda

Enrichment with Class (TpT Seller)
This would be a great resource to supplement programs like Saxon Math...we never have anough problem solving & critical thinking! Thanks for the freebie!
February 11, 2012
Scipi (TpT Seller)
Yes, I agree with your statement regarding Saxon Math. When I taught middle school, I noticed a great deficiency in the two areas you mentioned.

Ellen Boyle (TpT Seller)
I oftentimes use the Marcy Cook resources with number tiles as a rotation for guided math groups with my highly critical math thinkers, but love the idea of using this as an accompaniment so all my mini-mathematicians have more opportunities to work with number tiles! Great resource!

Hollis Hemmings (TpT Seller)
Hi Scipi,
I am very interested in using these tiles for an E.I.P. math group that I teach during intervention time. Currently, we use Saxon Math, but I can sprinkle in the number tiles,too.
Also, we (Hollis Hemmings which is our pseudonym for Hollis Collins and Gretchen Hemmings) appreciated your positive comments on our free download of The Mixed-Up Chameleon. We joined TPT in June of this year, so we are relatively new. Our sales have been encouraging thus far. Thank you for your advice and stay in touch.

I am very familiar with Saxxon Math. Just be careful that you supplement this math series with lots of problem solving and critical thinking as that is what is lacking in the curriculum. It doesn't show up until middle school.

I love this! I have several students this year that are tentative (not risk-takers) and the idea of using the tiles as opposed to writing answers down is awesome! I love the conceptual math ideas you have! Way to go!-Yvonne Dixon

Linda Nelson (TpT Seller)
What a great assortment of simple number activities that are also "forgiving" -no erasing! :)
My favorite is the greater than/less than page. what a clever idea to flip it over!
thanks!

I used the leveled number tile sheets in independent centers and also had parents use the activities with a small group of students. I love that the activities increase in difficulty to allow for differentiation and to meet the needs my entire Kindergarten classroom (and would be perfect for even higher elementary grades). Students who are hesitant to write numbers also love this activity because they can use the manipulatives without having to write and erase. Thanks for creating a great activity that can be used in so many different ways!
