DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Let your students practice their adding and subtracting within 1000 with these NINE fun winter shaped puzzles. Each puzzle has various types of regrouping - or not - included so you can best differentiate to meet all students' needs.

Plus you also get a digital option where all puzzles are available in Google Slides. Assign the page you want each student to have - perhaps via Google Classroom - and they can complete it virtually with no copying needed!

This puzzle is great for winter math centers, Christmas, winter, a snowman unit, enrichment, GATE (gifted and talented education), early or fast finishers, anytime in December or January, when there is snow on the ground, and more!

This will help address Common Core State Standards 2.NBT.B.7 and 3.NBT.A.2

These puzzles are meant to be somewhat of a challenge. Students will have to keep in mind the shape (if you choose to tell them the shape). Tell students to rotate the pieces around until they fit. This is where their critical thinking skills will come into play!

There are two options for each puzzle. One option is each of the two puzzles in its full snowman shape. The other option is the puzzle pieces separate so students do not know the final shape. These “cut out” sheets are meant to be given directly to the students to cut out and put together so they don't know the shape. These will be more challenging. They are no prep – just print and go!

An editable PowerPoint file has been included as a center rubric. A full page option and half page option are both included. Print these out for immediate use, or change the wording and format to fit the needs of YOUR students.

There is a puzzle mat with the actual puzzle pieces so students can put their pieces over the top OR a blank outline as a guide, but not direct help. Use these for students who need a bit more support with the puzzle shape.

You also get writing prompts to use with this shape. I recommend sharing a prompt with the class and putting these up behind or beside the completed puzzle as hall or bulletin board displays.
