CROSSMATH PUZZLES FOR SENIORS

by Pat Gansen

 

Get ready to flex your mental muscles with math puzzles! Printed in large print for reduced eye strain.

 

Here’s how it works:

• A puzzle with a grid of six equations— three across and three 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!

 

These puzzles are a fun way to boost your mental math skills.

Solutions are included at the back, with the missing numbers highlighted in bold for easy checking.

Happy puzzling!
