Description

A different and fun way to practice rational number facts with INTEGERS (adding facts within +/-100). Sum squares provide the answers, students need to fill in all 4 boxes in the Sum Square to produce the correct sums across each row and down each column! It's a fantastic way to also practice addition fact fluency with positive and negative integers. The download comes with 4 practice worksheets (36 unique puzzles in total!), 1 "make your own" Sum Square worksheet and complete solutions pages.

IDEAS FOR USE:

  • Use as consolidation of your own lessons on adding with integers
  • Use as homework for your own unit
  • Back to School fact fluency review
  • Math Centre activity
  • Enrichment opportunity for early finishers (or for working at grade levels beyond the students actual level)
  • Many puzzles have more than one correct solution! Use it as math talks to have students share their different solutions, or challenge them to come up with more than one solution to a puzzle!
  • Some puzzles incorporate an excellent way to reinforce rules for adding opposite integers to produce a ZERO sum.

My students love these puzzles as they are way more engaging than the usual mad minute style practice. Even student who don't like math, enjoy these Sum Squares! I even have parents asking for more practice with these because they enjoy the challenge!

I used this as a starter for my very low senior class. They like that they can start with any number and make the pattern work. It was great practice for them. Thank you!

Most students found this activity to be too easy. I would use again, but as a way to mix up interventions.

Describe situations in which opposite quantities combine to make 0. For example, a hydrogen atom has 0 charge because its two constituents are oppositely charged.
Understand 𝘱 + 𝘲 as the number located a distance |𝘲| from 𝘱, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether 𝘲 is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
