Description
These number puzzles use dates as math expressions and are great for fast finishers, sub plans, math centers, or enrichment!
This easy-prep resource includes 22 number puzzles:
- 12 ‘Math Dates in History’ find-a-number puzzles – one for each month
- 5 cross-number puzzles using dates from all months, 2017-2018
- 5 find-a-number puzzles using dates from all months, 2017-2018
The puzzles are all based on the idea of writing the date as a mathematical expression (shown in the image in preview).
- You can read about the date as a math expression in this blog post.
- If students haven’t solved 'math dates' before, they might need a few examples before starting a puzzle.
For cross-number puzzles, students need to figure out the date, and then enter those digits into the appropriate place in the puzzle.
For the find-a-number puzzles, students figure out the date and then find and circle those digits.
Some of the concepts included in the date expressions are:
- Square roots
- Cube roots
- Exponents and exponents rules
- Order of operations
- Fraction multiplication and division
- Decimal multiplication and division
- Absolute value
- Adding/subtracting positive/negative integers
These number puzzles are also found in the larger Math Dates resource.
