CROSSMATH PUZZLES LARGE PRINT

by Pat Gansen

 

If you enjoy working with numbers or want to brush up on your arithmetic skills, these puzzles are perfect for you.

 

Here’s how it works:

• A puzzle with a grid of eight equations—four across and four down.
• Most equations have two numbers missing, but one has just one missing number, start here.
• Solve that first equation, keeping in mind the order of operations (multiply and divide before you add or subtract).
• Once you solve it the next equation will also be missing just one number, keep going until you’ve solved the whole puzzle!

 

Want a little extra challenge? Try timing yourself and see if you can beat your best time! Solutions are included at the back, with the missing numbers highlighted in bold for easy checking.

Happy puzzling!
