Are you looking for an activity to fire up your math lesson?
Do you need an extension or time filling activity to keep your students on task.

⭐Math Logic Puzzles and Brain teasers are a great way to start a lesson or use as a brain break or extension activity.
Have them on Interactive Whiteboard displayed as a classroom entry activity.

❤️Suggested ideas for use in the classroom

☀Give your students 5 minutes to solve the riddle or puzzles before revealing the answers. Great discussion starters as many of these may have more than one answer or explanation. Work individually or in teams to determine the answer and share their thinking.

☀Use as a think, pair, share activity so as to encourage mathematical and logical thinking

☀These can also be used for fast finishers as problem solving tasks. Students really enjoy the Optical illusions which are included in this pack.

☀Included is 1 PDF which can be easily saved on any storage device. A great addition to any Relief or Substitute teacher's bag of tricks.

☀Suitable for middle primary to lower secondary students. (Answers included where necessary.)

Can you work out the answer to this one?

"All of Jenny's pets are dogs except one. All of her pets are cats except one. How many cats and dogs does Jenny have? (HINT: Jenny has less than 5 dogs)

(Answer is at the bottom of the page)

⭐What is included in this resource?⭐

✅This resource comes as a PDF with 10 question and answer sheets

✅10 fun optical illusions to ' blow their minds'

⭐What people are saying about this resource⭐

"I have a cluster classroom so this was great. I put it on Goggle classroom, and let my students use it when they had free time. It was very engaging, and fun."

"We've been using these as warm up questions. They love that it isn't directly "math" (equations) and I love that they get really into solving these and getting their brains thinking outside of the box! Thank you!"

"I use these for early finishers. They enjoy solving the puzzles. They are practicing but do not feel they are doing extra work."

"Great Morning discussion or showing it during transition and discuss and they are lining up or when they are getting ready to go home at the end of the day. My students will stop doing what they are doing and they will listen to the question and hate when someone answer without raising their hands."

This resource was a fantastic addition to my math lessons! The activities were engaging, hands-on, and kept my students motivated from start to finish. They reinforced important math concepts while encouraging critical thinking and meaningful practice. Everything was well organized, easy to implement, and helped make math both fun and effective. My students loved it, and I look forward to using it again!

A little bit of prep on your part, but once it is done... it is worth it. Used with class and for tutoring.

Great resource. I use it whole group and these puzzles are engaging and hook even my high flyers. My class enjoys the puzzles - they are challenging, bur solvable. It would be nice to have these on google slides/ppt to make them easier to display for my setup.

Teaching across a wide range of year levels, including multigrade classrooms, has taught me the importance of adapting lessons so every student can participate, feel supported and make progress. That experience guides the way I plan lessons and create resources. My experience includes: - Teaching multigrade K–2 and Years 3–6 classes - Working as a Reading Recovery, RFF and Learning Support teacher - Creating courses for the ClassCover Relief Teaching Association - Writing units of work for Inquisitive - Working as a unit writer and Learning Support teacher for NSW Distance Education These roles have given me a practical understanding of what students need to learn—and what teachers need to help them succeed.
