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 was a fun filler activity for both my 4th grade students, when I taught 4th, and my current 8th grade students. It was a nice break from the math we had been doing. I also used it in my end of year Amazing Race activity for my students.

I printed these and placed them in document protectors. I gave these to my students to think about in pair and share, during transitions or for my early finishers. They enjoyed thinking critically, and challenged each other to be first to get the answer. Fun competition ensued!

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.
