It is filled with 10 logic puzzles where students have to figure out the missing factors, quotients, and products in each brain teaser. Some brain teasers also include multi-digit addition and subtraction. Valentine’s day is a whole lot more fun when you have a math activity that aligns to standards too!

Elementary students LOVE critical thinking activities in math. These brain teasers were made for 4th, 5th, or 6th grade students to use when working on multiple skills in the classroom. These can also be called logic puzzles!

When I use these in my classroom, I put them in a math center. I print them 4 to a page so they fit in the color task card boxes you can find at local stores. I have students solve each one and then provide them with the answer key for self-checking. It’s easy to use and print-and-go. No prep required!
