Using the St. Patrick’s Day Puzzles

I cut the pieces out, mixed them up and laid them out on the table. Then I invited my son to put the puzzles together.

He did this by picking a number piece first and then trying to find two number bonds that add up to that number. He repeated this over and over again with each puzzle.

If you want to make these self-correcting you can write a number (very small) on the back of the two ten frame pieces that matches the top number they belong to. This is something I plan to do so he can check his answers.

Another option is to put each puzzle together and take a pic of groups of them and the kids can use the pictures as an answer key.

I hope your kids enjoy them this St. Patrick’s Day!
