Mardi Gras Math Number Puzzles Counting to 10

This Mardi Gras math activity is a great way for your students to work on their math, number, counting, fine motor and problem solving skills. As well as all these skills, this activity will be a great addition to your Mardi Gras unit.

 

The puzzles come in 8 different difficulty levels;

• Level 1 – 0-3

• Level 2 – 0-4

• Level 3 – 0-5

• Level 4 – 0-6

• Level 5 – 0-7

• Level 6 – 0-8

• Level 7 – 0-9

• Level 8 – 0-10

 

There are a range of ways that these can be used in your classroom such as;

• Print out the puzzles, cut them up and laminate them. Use them as a center activity where your students have to look at the numbers on the bottom of each puzzle piece, put them into numerical order to make the puzzle.

• Print out two copies of each puzzle (one copy can be b/w), laminate one as a full puzzle (I recommend the b/w one) and then cut out the puzzle pieces on the other puzzle. Laminate the puzzle pieces. Have your students match the individual pieces onto the completed puzzle. This provides a lower ability option for students struggling.

 

Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document. I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual task cards so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting.
