This three puzzle offering is in "celebration" of March 14, Pi Day. All three puzzles can be done by seventh graders through seniors, though the younger students might be best working in groups on the crossword. The math required for the Math Pi History is just adding and subtracting whole numbers . . . though since I'd LIKE them to be done MENTALLY even seniors can get something out of it. I HAVE given instructions as to how to do them mentally. All three puzzles are foot off of the accelerator

Our Cartesian Cartoon Puzzle series is intended to offer different slants and blends from most of the “gr

This package consists of all six of the puzzles I've written that involve Charles Dickens. Four of the puzzles are centered about his A Christmas Carol, another is a brief "arithmetical biography", and the other a blended math/literature puzzle that introduces the "doer" to 14 of Dickens' aptly named characters. A Christmas Carol is a foundation for four of the puzzles. Three of the puzzles might work nicely before reading the book - a "math essay" wherein the doer calculates some middle school

In this graphing puzzle, the student will: 1). plot points in a coordinate plane (no fractions). 2). take the per cent of a number (common per cents and whole numbers). 3). reflect line segments across the y-axis. Please do not be intimidated by the 8.1 Core Standard number if it appears in the "core numbers" . . . it is the one that has the student work with reflections (among other things). Our reflections are not all that complex. Our Cartesian Cartoon Puzzle series is intended to offer
