Algebraic Number Pattern Puzzles – Set 02 (10 Puzzles with Solutions)
🧠 Your students loved Set 1 — now there's more! Suitable for Grades 3- 6
If you grabbed Set 1 from my store and your students were hooked, this is the perfect next step! Set 3 brings 10 brand-new number pattern puzzles with fresh rules and new challenges to keep that mathematical thinking going.
What's included?
- 10 unique number pattern puzzles
- 10 full solution slides with the rule explained and working shown
- A clean, ready-to-use PDF presentation — just open and teach!
How it works: Students look at four 2×2 grids, each containing four numbers. They must find the hidden rule connecting ALL FOUR numbers in each box — then use it to work out the missing number in the final grid. Every puzzle has one consistent rule across all four boxes, so students must think logically and test their ideas before they commit to an answer.
