"I have lots of the number tiles (Marcy Cook?) and they are perfect for using with these puzzles. My students are VERY engaged during this rotation and the clues lead to lots of strong math talk."

Description

Time to Tile: Place Value Riddles is a hands-on activity that takes students’ thinking beyond procedures and rote memorization. This engaging resource activates critical thinking and problem-solving skills, all while developing a deep, conceptual understanding of whole-number place value. Students must place 10 number tiles (0-9) on the Time to Tile cards in order to correctly solve 60 different riddles. Each riddle provides students with 5 clues

This resource is now provided in printable and digital formats (Google Slides).

This resource includes:

  • 30 different Time to Tile cards (60 different riddles)
  • An “Answer Recording Sheet,” where students can record their answers so they can be corrected later. This allows the resource to be used as a perfect independent or center activity.
  • Answer keys
  • Management and organization tips for successfully implementing Time to Tile in your classroom.
