Add these two numbers together. What do you get?

Answer: If the digits are the same, the maximum is 666 and the minimum is 111. Then, if you add the numbers together, 666 + 111 = 777. If the digits are different, the maximum is 654 and the minimum is 456. Then, if you add the numbers together, 654 + 456 = 1,110.

Bonus: Who got a different result? Why?

6. PIN problem solving – mixed

Type: Logic, problem solving, reasoning

I’ve forgotten my PIN. Six incorrect attempts locks my account: I’ve used five! Two digits are displayed after each unsuccessful attempt: “2, 0” means 2 digits from that guess are in the PIN, but 0 are in the right place. No two digits in my PIN are the same.

What should my sixth attempt be?

Answer: 6347

7. So many birds – mixed

Type: Triangular Numbers, Sequences, Number, Problem Solving

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave me one gift. On the second day they gave me another pair of gifts plus a copy of what they gave me on day one. On day 3, they gave me three new gifts, plus another copy of everything they’d already given me. If they keep this up, how many gifts will I have after twelve days?

Answer: 364

Bonus: This could be calculated as 1 + (1 + 2) + (1 + 2 + 3) + … but is there an easier way? What percentage of my gifts do I receive on each day?

8. I 8 sum math questions – mixed

Answer: 71%

10. Ancient problem solving – easy

Type: Fractions, Reasoning, Problem Solving

Ancient Egyptians only used unit fractions (like \frac {1}{2} , \frac{1}{3} or \frac{1}{4} . For \frac {2}{3} they’d write \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} . How might they write \frac{5}{8} ?

Answer: 

\frac {1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} is correct. So is \frac {1}{2} + \frac{1}{8} (They are both still unit fractions even though they have different denominators.)

Bonus: Which solution is better? Why? Can you find any more? What if subtractions are allowed?

25. Leonhard’s graph – hard

Type: Reasoning, Problem-Solving, Logic

Leonhard’s town has seven bridges as shown below. Can you find a route around the town that crosses every bridge exactly once?

Answer: No!

This is a classic real life historical math problem solved by mathematician Leonhard Euler (rhymes with “boiler”). The city was Konigsberg in Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia). Not being able to find a solution is different from proving that there aren’t any! Euler managed to do this in 1736, practically inventing graph theory in the process.

Math puzzles are everywhere!

Many of these 25 math problems are rooted in real life, from everyday occurrences to historical events. Others are just questions that might arise if you say “what if…?”. The point is that although there are many lists of such problem-solving math questions that you can make use of, with a little bit of experience and inspiration you could create your own on almost any topic – and so could your students.

10 Fun Math Problem Solving Activities

I love using fun games and activities to get my kids excited about math. That’s why I was so excited to discover Beast Academy Playground! The site includes a wide variety of math problem solving activities, games, puzzles, and ideas that can be used with your current homeschool curriculum. If you’re looking for some fun ways to get your child interested in math again or some new ideas for teaching math at home, this is a great place to start.

I received compensation in exchange for my honest review, but all the opinions in this post are my own.

What is Beast Academy Playground?

As a homeschool parent, I know that fun math problem solving activities are hard to come by. Practicing math can be frustrating and boring for kids. And, it’s not enough to just teach math facts – children need to learn how to solve complex problems too!

Beast Academy Playground is the perfect solution. This site was created by Beast Academy, a homeschool curriculum for kids ages 8-13 that’s written as a comic book. Beast Academy Playground is a website that includes a growing library of fun activity ideas for kids ages 4-11.

The site includes both tabletop games that can be played with paper and pencil and more active games that can be played outside. Parents can sort the activities by concept, age, number of players, and more to find the perfect activity to complement any math lesson. New activities, games, and crafts are added to the site weekly.

Key Features of Beast Academy Playground

I love that every game on the site includes variations. These are different ways to adapt the game to fit the number of kids in your family or the age and grade level of your child.

In addition, most of the games can be played alone or in small groups. This makes Beast Academy Playground so easy for the whole family to use together!

Beast Academy Playground was developed by the experts at Art of Problem Solving, who are global leaders in K-12 math education. Each activity is intentionally designed to help kids learn new math concepts.

How to use Math Problem Solving Activities in Your Homeschool

Introduce a new concept.

One way to use problem-solving activities in your math lessons is to help introduce a new concept. For example, when we were learning about even and odd numbers, we started our math lesson by playing the Odds vs. Evens game from Beast Academy Playground. This simple math problem solving activity is a variation on the game Rock Paper Scissors. This was a fun way to help us review addition facts while introducing the concept of odd and even numbers.

Practice Problem-Solving Skills

Another great way to use Beast Academy Playground is to help kids practice their problem-solving skills. One fun problem solving game that my kids love is the Fox and Hare game. In this outdoor game, the fox needs to use strategy to try to catch the hare on a grid, while the hare tries to avoid capture. You can change the size of the grid to create a variety of problems for kids to solve.

Practice Math Facts

If your kids need extra practice with their math facts, games and math puzzles can be a fun way to practice these important skills. Beast Academy Playground has games for addition and subtraction, as well as concepts like skip counting that will help kids learn their multiplication facts.

One favorite that we enjoyed was Troll Hole . In this game, we took turns writing numbers on a special game board. In the end, we had to add up all the numbers to see who was the winner. My kids had so much fun with the theme of this game and loved getting to draw the troll in the hole!

Independent learning

As homeschool parents, we always need ideas for independent learning activities. Beast Academy Playground includes some great math problem solving games that are perfect for self-directed math learning. The many different activities on the site include several fun activities for one player that kids can work through independently to reinforce their math skills.

For extra review

Hands-on activities are also helpful when kids need a little extra review on a topic. For example, we played Kanga Ruler to help review skip counting. The kids loved this game because it was active and fun!

Top 10 Math Problem Solving Activities from Beast Academy Playground

Here are 10 of our favorite games that help kids develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, all while having fun at the same time.

Trashketball

In this game, kids aim and try to score a basket into a trash can. Then, they add up the points they score. You can modify this game to add extra intellectual challenges for older kids or adapt the math so that younger kids can play too!

Trashketball was my kids’ favorite Beast Academy game, hands down. They loved trying to score as many baskets as they could. They had so much fun that they decided to keep playing even after our math lesson was finished!

Learn how to play Trashketball here.

In this math game for young children, kids race to stack towers of number cards. This is a great way to review numbers and counting. My kids really enjoyed trying to build the tallest tower that they could!

Learn how to play Towers here.

Bumper Cars

Although it took us a few tries to understand the strategy behind this game, my kids loved the concept of trying to figure out new ways to move the cars on the road. This was another great mathematical practice for strategy and solving difficult math problems.

Blind Heist

In this game, Battleship meets addition as kids try to build the highest towers on their own secret side of the board. There are many different solutions and strategies to be successful, and my kids loved trying different solutions to this open-ended problem.

Learn how to play Blind Heist here.

Möbius Madness

This is a classic brain teaser for a reason- my kids were fascinated by the magic of a piece of paper with only one side. My kids were able to follow the directions easily and afterwards, they were excited to show their magical piece of paper to everyone who would watch.

Learn how to play Möbius Madness here.

This fast-paced card game was the perfect way to help my kids practice their addition facts.

Learn how to play Fifteen here.

Cookie Cutter

This game helps kids practice both spatial reasoning skills and fine motor skills at the same time. And, the result is a fun picture that they can color!

How to easily make your own math word problems & word problems worksheets

Armed with 120 examples to spark ideas, making your own math word problems can engage your students and ensure alignment with lessons. Do:

• Link to Student Interests:  By framing your word problems with student interests, you’ll likely grab attention. For example, if most of your class loves American football, a measurement problem could involve the throwing distance of a famous quarterback.
• Make Questions Topical:  Writing a word problem that reflects current events or issues can engage students by giving them a clear, tangible way to apply their knowledge.
• Include Student Names:  Naming a question’s characters after your students is an easy way make subject matter relatable, helping them work through the problem.
• Be Explicit:  Repeating keywords distills the question, helping students focus on the core problem.
• Test Reading Comprehension:  Flowery word choice and long sentences can hide a question’s key elements. Instead, use concise phrasing and grade-level vocabulary.
• Focus on Similar Interests:  Framing too many questions with related interests -- such as football and basketball -- can alienate or disengage some students.
• Feature Red Herrings:  Including unnecessary information introduces another problem-solving element, overwhelming many elementary students.

A key to differentiated instruction , word problems that students can relate to and contextualize will capture interest more than generic and abstract ones.

Math is interesting because a few equations and diagrams can communicate volumes of information. Treat math as a language, while moving to rigorous proof and using logical reason for performing a particular step in a proof or derivation.

Treating maths as a language totally eradicates the concept of hard math problems or tricky maths questions from your mind. Introducing children to fun maths questions can create a strong love and appreciation for maths at an early age. This way you are setting up the child’s successful future. Fun math problems will urge your child to choose to solve it over playing bingo or baking.

Apparently, there are innumerable methods to make easy maths tricky questions and answers. This includes the inception of the ideology that maths is simpler than their fear. This can be done by connecting maths with everyday life. Practising maths with the aid of dice, cards, puzzles and tables reassures that your child effectively approaches Maths.

Here are some fun, tricky and hard to solve maths problems that will challenge your thinking ability.

Answer: is 3, because ‘six’ has three letters

What is the number of parking space covered by the car?

This tricky math problem went viral a few years back after it appeared on an entrance exam in Hong Kong… for six-year-olds. Supposedly the students had just 20 seconds to solve the problem!

Believe it or not, this “math” question actually requires no math whatsoever. If you flip the image upside down, you’ll see that what you’re dealing with is a simple number sequence.

Replace the question mark in the above problem with the appropriate number.

Which number is equivalent to 3^(4)÷3^(2)

This problem comes straight from a standardized test given in New York in 2014.

There are 49 dogs signed up for a dog show. There are 36 more small dogs than large dogs. How many small dogs have signed up to compete? 

This question comes directly from a second grader's math homework.

To figure out how many small dogs are competing, you have to subtract 36 from 49 and then divide that answer, 13 by 2, to get 6.5 dogs, or the number of big dogs competing. But you’re not done yet! You then have to add 6.5 to 36 to get the number of small dogs competing, which is 42.5. Of course, it’s not actually possible for half a dog to compete in a dog show, but for the sake of this math problem let’s assume that it is.

Add 8.563 and 4.8292.

Adding two decimals together is easier than it looks. Don’t let the fact that 8.563 has fewer numbers than 4.8292 trip you up. All you have to do is add a 0 to the end of 8.563 and then add like you normally would.

I am an odd number. Take away one letter and I become even. What number am I?

Answer:  Seven (take away the ‘s’ and it becomes ‘even’).

Using only an addition, how do you add eight 8’s and get the number 1000?

Answer: 

888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000

Sally is 54 years old and her mother is 80, how many years ago was Sally’s mother times her age?

41 years ago, when Sally was 13 and her mother was 39.

Which 3 numbers have the same answer whether they’re added or multiplied together?

There is a basket containing 5 apples, how do you divide the apples among 5 children so that each child has 1 apple while 1 apple remains in the basket?

4 children get 1 apple each while the fifth child gets the basket with the remaining apple still in it.

There is a three-digit number. The second digit is four times as big as the third digit, while the first digit is three less than the second digit. What is the number?

Fill in the question mark

Two girls were born to the same mother, at the same time, on the same day, in the same month and the same year and yet somehow they’re not twins. Why not?

Because there was a third girl, which makes them triplets!

A ship anchored in a port has a ladder which hangs over the side. The length of the ladder is 200cm, the distance between each rung in 20cm and the bottom rung touches the water. The tide rises at a rate of 10cm an hour. When will the water reach the fifth rung?

The tide raises both the water and the boat so the water will never reach the fifth rung. 

The day before yesterday I was 25. The next year I will be 28. This is true only one day in a year. What day is my Birthday?  

You have a 3-litre bottle and a 5-litre bottle. How can you measure 4 litres of water by using 3L and 5L bottles? 

Solution 1 :

First, fill 3Lt bottle and pour 3 litres into 5Lt bottle.

Again fill the 3Lt bottle. Now pour 2 litres into the 5Lt bottle until it becomes full.

Now empty 5Lt bottle.

Pour remaining 1 litre in 3Lt bottle into 5Lt bottle.

Now again fill 3Lt bottle and pour 3 litres into 5Lt bottle.

Now you have 4 litres in the 5Lt bottle. That’s it.

Solution 2 :

First, fill the 5Lt bottle and pour 3 litres into 3Lt bottle.

Empty 3Lt bottle.

Pour remaining 2 litres in  5Lt bottle into 3Lt bottle.

Again fill the 5Lt bottle and pour 1 litre into 3 Lt bottle until it becomes full.

3 Friends went to a shop and purchased 3 toys. Each person paid Rs.10 which is the cost of one toy. So, they paid Rs.30 i.e. total amount. The shop owner gave a discount of Rs.5 on the total purchase of 3 toys for Rs.30. Then, among Rs.5, Each person has taken Rs.1 and remaining Rs.2 given to the beggar beside the shop. Now, the effective amount paid by each person is Rs.9 and the amount given to the beggar is Rs.2. So, the total effective amount paid is 9*3 = 27 and the amount given to beggar is Rs.2, thus the total is Rs.29. Where has the other Rs.1 gone from the original Rs.30?

The logic is payments should be equal to receipts. We cannot add the amount paid by persons and the amount given to the beggar and compare it to Rs.30.The total amount paid is ₹27. So, from ₹27, the shop owner received 25 rupees and beggar received ₹ 2. Thus, payments are equal to receipts.

How to get a number 100 by using four sevens (7’s) and a one (1)?

Answer 1:   177 – 77 = 100 ;

Answer 2: (7+7) * (7 + (1/7)) = 100 

Move any four matches to get 3 equilateral triangles only (don’t remove matches)

Find the area of the red triangle.

To solve this fun maths question, you need to understand how the area of a parallelogram works. If you already know how the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle are related, then adding 79 and 10 and subsequently subtracting 72 and 8 to get 9 should make sense.

 How many feet are in a mile? 

Solve  - 15+ (-5x) =0

What is 1.92÷3

A man is climbing up a mountain which is inclined. He has to travel 100 km to reach the top of the mountain. Every day He climbs up 2 km forward in the day time. Exhausted, he then takes rest there at night time. At night, while he is asleep, he slips down 1 km backwards because the mountain is inclined. Then how many days does it take him to reach the mountain top? 

 If 72 x 96 = 6927, 58 x 87 = 7885, then 79 x 86 = ?

Answer:  

Look at this series: 36, 34, 30, 28, 24, … What number should come next?

  Look at this series: 22, 21, 23, 22, 24, 23, … What number should come next?

If 13 x 12 = 651 & 41 x 23 = 448, then, 24 x 22 =?

Look at this series: 53, 53, 40, 40, 27, 27, … What number should come next?

The ultimate goals of mathematics instruction are students understanding the material presented, applying the skills, and recalling the concepts in the future. There's little benefit in students recalling a formula or procedure to prepare for an assessment tomorrow only to forget the core concept by next week.

Teachers must focus on making sure that the students understand the material and not just memorize the procedures. After you learn the answers to a fun maths question, you begin to ask yourself how you could have missed something so easy. The truth is, most trick questions are designed to trick your mind, which is why the answers to fun maths questions are logical and easy.

Fun Math Problem Solving Activities for the Fourth Grade Classroom

Math is an important subject that students need to master in order to do well in their future studies. But it can be difficult to make math fun for students, especially at the fourth grade level. That’s why I’ve put together this list of my favorite problem solving activities that my fourth grade students love! Let’s take a look.

Problem Solving Ideas

Math Games – One of my favorite activities is to have the students play math games such as “24 Challenge” or “Math Baseball”. In these games, students are given a set of math facts or equations and they must solve them before their opponents can. This helps them practice their problem-solving skills while having fun. It also encourages them to work together as a team, which is great for building teamwork skills.

Word Problems – Another great activity is having the students work on word problems together. I like to have them write out the equations and then discuss how they solved each one. This helps them understand how to break down complex problems and identify key words or phrases that will help them figure out the answer more quickly. It also gets them thinking critically about how they approach solving each problem, which can be very beneficial in later grades when they have more challenging material to tackle!

Group Work – Group work can be a great way for the students to practice problem solving skills with their peers. I like to assign groups of four or five and give each group a set of math problems that they need to solve together as a team. This helps reinforce collaboration and cooperation among the students, as well as fostering an environment where everyone is comfortable voicing their ideas without fear of judgment from their peers or teacher.

Math doesn’t have to be boring! Problem solving activities are a great way for fourth grade teachers to engage their students in learning while still making sure they understand key concepts from the curriculum. From math games and word problems, to group work, there are plenty of activities you can use in your classroom that your fourth graders will love! And who knows—you might even find yourself having fun too !

Problem Solving Activities: 7 Strategies

• Critical Thinking

Problem solving can be a daunting aspect of effective mathematics teaching, but it does not have to be! In this post, I share seven strategic ways to integrate problem solving into your everyday math program.

In the middle of our problem solving lesson, my district math coordinator stopped by for a surprise walkthrough. 

I was so excited!

We were in the middle of what I thought was the most brilliant math lesson– teaching my students how to solve problem solving tasks using specific problem solving strategies. 

It was a proud moment for me!

Each week, I presented a new problem solving strategy and the students completed problems that emphasized the strategy. 

Genius right? 

After observing my class, my district coordinator pulled me aside to chat. I was excited to talk to her about my brilliant plan, but she told me I should provide the tasks and let my students come up with ways to solve the problems. Then, as students shared their work, I could revoice the student’s strategies and give them an official name. 

What a crushing blow! Just when I thought I did something special, I find out I did it all wrong. 

I took some time to consider her advice. Once I acknowledged she was right, I was able to make BIG changes to the way I taught problem solving in the classroom. 

When I Finally Saw the Light

To give my students an opportunity to engage in more authentic problem solving which would lead them to use a larger variety of problem solving strategies, I decided to vary the activities and the way I approached problem solving with my students. 

Problem Solving Activities

Here are seven ways to strategically reinforce problem solving skills in your classroom. 

Seasonal Problem Solving

Many teachers use word problems as problem solving tasks. Instead, try engaging your students with non-routine tasks that look like word problems but require more than the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to complete. Seasonal problem solving tasks and daily challenges are a perfect way to celebrate the season and have a little fun too!

Cooperative Problem Solving Tasks

Go cooperative! If you’ve got a few extra minutes, have students work on problem solving tasks in small groups. After working through the task, students create a poster to help explain their solution process and then post their poster around the classroom. Students then complete a gallery walk of the posters in the classroom and provide feedback via sticky notes or during a math talk session.

Notice and Wonder

Before beginning a problem solving task, such as a seasonal problem solving task, conduct a Notice and Wonder session. To do this, ask students what they notice about the problem. Then, ask them what they wonder about the problem. This will give students an opportunity to highlight the unique characteristics and conditions of the problem as they try to make sense of it. 

Want a better experience? Remove the stimulus, or question, and allow students to wonder about the problem. Try it! You’ll gain some great insight into how your students think about a problem.

Math Starters

Start your math block with a math starter, critical thinking activities designed to get your students thinking about math and provide opportunities to “sneak” in grade-level content and skills in a fun and engaging way. These tasks are quick, designed to take no more than five minutes, and provide a great way to turn-on your students’ brains. Read more about math starters here ! 

Create your own puzzle box! The puzzle box is a set of puzzles and math challenges I use as fast finisher tasks for my students when they finish an assignment or need an extra challenge. The box can be a file box, file crate, or even a wall chart. It includes a variety of activities so all students can find a challenge that suits their interests and ability level.

Calculators

Use calculators! For some reason, this tool is not one many students get to use frequently; however, it’s important students have a chance to practice using it in the classroom. After all, almost everyone has access to a calculator on their cell phones. There are also some standardized tests that allow students to use them, so it’s important for us to practice using calculators in the classroom. Plus, calculators can be fun learning tools all by themselves!

Three-Act Math Tasks

Use a three-act math task to engage students with a content-focused, real-world problem! These math tasks were created with math modeling in mind– students are presented with a scenario and then given clues and hints to help them solve the problem. There are several sites where you can find these awesome math tasks, including Dan Meyer’s Three-Act Math Tasks and Graham Fletcher’s 3-Acts Lessons . 

Getting the Most from Each of the Problem Solving Activities

When students participate in problem solving activities, it is important to ask guiding, not leading, questions. This provides students with the support necessary to move forward in their thinking and it provides teachers with a more in-depth understanding of student thinking. Selecting an initial question and then analyzing a student’s response tells teachers where to go next.

What are math puzzles?

Types of math puzzles, our 12 favorite math puzzles.

While some kids absolutely love math, many struggle with it. This struggle can make learning math difficult, and sometimes even deter kids from doing their homework or participating in class. 

But you know what almost every kid loves? Puzzles! By combining math lessons with logic puzzles, you can teach essential skills without kids even realizing that they’re learning! Let’s take a peek at some fun math puzzles for kids.

Math puzzles are challenges that require math skills and logical reasoning to solve. They are great tools to help children learn basic math concepts in a fun way.

Some of the most versatile math puzzles include:

• Brain teasers
• Math riddles

Number puzzles

Teachers can use math puzzles in the classroom, but they can also be useful at home, especially with careful guidance from a parent or guardian! Another plus: math puzzles keep the brain active, helping kids develop cognitive skills beyond mathematical reasoning.

Benefits of math puzzles

Math puzzles don’t just help kids learn to enjoy math. They also help them to develop important life skills. 

Below are some of the ways that math puzzles aid child development: 

• Math puzzles boost mental math skills. Math puzzles require kids to perform simple math problems in their head. In the beginning, they might feel more comfortable using a pen and paper to work out the problem. However, over time, you should notice your child using their memory and their critical thinking skills to solve puzzles in their head.
• They foster problem-solving skills. Math puzzles challenge children to think creatively about the problem they’re facing. This skill can be transferred to everyday activities, such as decision-making and even managing emotions. 
• Many math puzzles enhance logical reasoning. When playing math puzzles, children need to follow a set of specific rules or steps, to come up with the correct answer. This process helps children to organize their thoughts.
• They help students build persistence and patience. Math is a concept that many children find difficult to grasp. Even worse, they can find it boring. Math puzzles add a fun element that encourages children to persist at a problem because it feels more like a game than a chore.

There are as many math puzzles as there are different types of learners, which is amazing! Take a look at the different types of math puzzles to see which one your child might enjoy the most: 

Number puzzles are very similar to any other puzzle your child might enjoy. The main difference is that there is an added number element. They have a range of numbers in different rows and columns, often with blank spaces to be filled in. Children need to work out the specific number pattern to solve the puzzle. 

Shape puzzles

Shape puzzles use different shapes to encourage logical thinking. They generally work by getting children to understand the characteristics of a shape and fitting them into a larger image or design. 

Alternatively, shapes can replace numbers in a math problem, with each shape representing a different number. To solve the problem, children are given certain information and they need to work out the number that each shape represents. 

For example:

In this example, each heart represents the number 4 because 12÷3=4.

Logic math puzzles

Logic puzzles require children to use logical thinking and deduction to work out the answer. They can range from simple brain teasers to more elaborate spatial problems. However, the concept remains the same. 

For example, students might be given a scenario like this: 

You have 14 pairs of socks altogether but 7 pairs are in the washing basket. How many are left in your drawer?

Students would need to deduct 7 from 14 to find the answer, which is 7.

Sequence and pattern puzzles

Sequence and pattern puzzles are brain teasers that help children learn basic math skills. The idea is for children to understand the pattern of shapes or numbers that have been provided, to find the next one in the sequence.

The next shape in this sequence is a diamond (because the sequence goes circle – circle – diamond.)

Now that we know the basic types of math puzzles, it’s time to get into specific games. Encourage your child to work through each problem step by step. You might be surprised at how much fun they have! 

Type of puzzle: logic math puzzle

In a Sudoku puzzle, the aim is to fill in the missing numbers in a 9 x 9 square. Each row, column, and block should contain the numbers 1-9 without any repetitions. For younger children, different colors or shapes can be used to explain the concept.

2. Magic square

Type of puzzle: number puzzle

The aim of a magic square puzzle is to fill in the blank cells, just like Sudoku. However, the sum of each row, column, and diagonal needs to add up to the same answer.

3. Math riddles

Type of puzzle: Logic math puzzle

In math riddles, children are given scenarios that require deductive reasoning to solve. The goal is to use logic and ‘read between the lines’ to get to the correct answer. 

Here is an example of a math riddle:

When my dad was 31 years old, I was 8 years old. Now he is twice my age. What is my age now?

The difference between the two ages is 23 years because 31 – 8 = 23. So, the child must be 23 years old for her dad to be twice her age. 

If you work out the difference between 8 and 23, the answer is 15 (23-8=15). 

31+15=46, so her dad would be 46, which is 2×23.

KenKen is a grid-based game similar to Sudoku. The main difference is that KenKen requires arithmetic to solve. The aim is to fill in the blank cells in a grid using only certain numbers. 

For example, in a 4×4 grid, you can only use numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. In a 6×6 grid, all numbers between 1 and 6 can be used. Numbers can’t be repeated in any row or column but can be used elsewhere. 

Unlike Sudoku, a KenKen square is further broken down into smaller boxes, known as cages. Within these are mini math problems that need to be worked out in order to solve the whole puzzle. The great thing about KenKen is that children can start with a small 3×3 puzzle and work up to a larger one once they get the hang of it.

5. Domino puzzle board

A domino puzzle board combines the fun of dominos with math. The aim is to fit all 28 domino pieces onto a puzzle board. Each space on the board has a number, but a domino can only be placed on that space if the numbers on the domino piece can be multiplied to equal the board number.

Simpler versions of this game include creating a domino square, where all sides add up to a certain number:

2048 is an online ‘sliding block’ puzzle played on a 4×4 grid. The object is to combine the numbers on the grid by sliding them up, down, left, or right, to reach the number 2048. When two blocks with the same number touch, they merge to create a bigger number. The game is won when you reach 2048.

Play online here . 

Kakuro is a crossword puzzle using numbers. Each ‘word’ needs to add up to the number provided in the clue. Only single digit numbers can be used (1-9) and a single number can’t be repeated in a ‘word’. 

8. Join the dots

Join the dots is a game that helps children see patterns in a group of dots, using their logical skills. Nine dots are arranged in a square and the object is to connect all the dots using four straight lines without lifting your pencil. This may sound like a simple concept, but it requires a bit of ‘out-the-box’ thinking!

Type of puzzle: shape puzzle

Tangram is a Chinese puzzle game that consists of a square cut into seven geometric shapes. The idea of the game is to rearrange the pieces to make other shapes, just like a puzzle! You are given an image of a certain shape and the goal is to rearrange the pieces to create this shape or pattern without overlapping any of the pieces.

Str8s is a simple logic game played on a grid, with numbers separated into compartments. The aim of the game is to create ‘straights’ within each compartment. This means you need to have consecutive numbers but they don’t need to be in order, such as 3, 4, 5, or 7, 9, 8.

In Str8s, there are also numbers in black squares, which can’t be used in that particular row or column. Just as in Sudoku and KenKen, the same number can’t be used more than once in any row or column.

11. Tower of Hanoi

The Tower of Hanoi is a logic-based game created by mathematician Edouard Lucas in 1883. There are disks of different sizes stacked on top of each other on a pole. There are also two additional poles that can be used when needed. 

The aim of the game is to have all of the disks stacked in the same order on the third pole, without ever putting a larger disk on top of a smaller one. 

The minimum number of moves needed to complete the puzzle depends on the number of disks you have. The equation used is:

Number of disks x 2 + 1 = 

So, at least 7 moves are needed to complete the puzzle below because there are 3 disks (3 x 2 = 6, 6 + 1 =7)

12. Number series

Type of puzzle: sequence and pattern puzzle

In this game, children are given a certain set of numbers in order. Their job is to work out the sequence being used to continue the pattern. 

For example, if you had the numbers 3, 6, 9, and 12, the next answer would be 15, because the numbers are following the 3 times table.

FAQs about math puzzles for kids

We understand that diving into new information can sometimes be overwhelming, and questions often arise. That’s why we’ve meticulously crafted these FAQs, based on real questions from students and parents. We’ve got you covered!

The great thing about math riddles is they use real-life scenarios that children can relate to. In addition, they vary in complexity so they can be used for children of all ages. Here are some fun (and educational) math riddles for you to try out:

1. If there are 4 apples and you take away 3, how many apples do you have?

(Answer: You have 3)

2. Which number stays the same no matter how many times you multiply it? 

(Answer: 0)

3. I am more than 10 but less than 15. I am one more than the number of months in a year. What am I?

(Answer: 13)

4. Fill in the blanks; 4, 8, 12, _, 20, _, 28

(Answers: 16 and 24)

Yes, mental math can be highly beneficial for students of all ages! It not only helps them develop a quicker and more accurate approach to solving math problems, but it also improves their overall math comprehension and confidence. 

Mental math can be especially helpful during exams or timed assessments when a calculator may not be allowed. Furthermore, students who excel in mental math often find it easier to grasp advanced mathematical concepts, and perform better in higher-level math courses.

Math logic puzzles are a common form of math puzzles, involving logical reasoning. Traditional logic puzzles generally have a grid of numbers, with certain numbers missing that need to be filled in. Sudoku is one of the most popular logic puzzle games. Other examples include brain teasers, elimination grids, and arithmetic puzzles.

Math puzzles make learning math more enjoyable. They also tend to reduce the fear associated with math equations because they are more like games than exam questions. Children that regularly practice math puzzles can develop a range of transferable skills including problem-solving, logical reasoning, and mental arithmetic.

Solving Equations

What is an equation.

An equation says that two things are equal. It will have an equals sign "=" like this:

That equations says:

what is on the left (x − 2)  equals  what is on the right (4)

So an equation is like a statement " this equals that "

What is a Solution?

A Solution is a value we can put in place of a variable (such as x ) that makes the equation true .

Example: x − 2 = 4

When we put 6 in place of x we get:

which is true

So x = 6 is a solution.

How about other values for x ?

• For x=5 we get "5−2=4" which is not true , so x=5 is not a solution .
• For x=9 we get "9−2=4" which is not true , so x=9 is not a solution .

In this case x = 6 is the only solution.

You might like to practice solving some animated equations .

More Than One Solution

There can be more than one solution.

Example: (x−3)(x−2) = 0

When x is 3 we get:

(3−3)(3−2) = 0 × 1 = 0

And when x is 2 we get:

(2−3)(2−2) = (−1) × 0 = 0

which is also true

So the solutions are:

x = 3 , or x = 2

When we gather all solutions together it is called a Solution Set

The above solution set is: {2, 3}

Solutions Everywhere!

Some equations are true for all allowed values and are then called Identities

Example: sin(−θ) = −sin(θ) is one of the Trigonometric Identities

Let's try θ = 30°:

sin(−30°) = −0.5 and

−sin(30°) = −0.5

So it is true for θ = 30°

Let's try θ = 90°:

sin(−90°) = −1 and

−sin(90°) = −1

So it is also true for θ = 90°

Is it true for all values of θ ? Try some values for yourself!

How to Solve an Equation

There is no "one perfect way" to solve all equations.

A Useful Goal

But we often get success when our goal is to end up with:

x = something

In other words, we want to move everything except "x" (or whatever name the variable has) over to the right hand side.

Example: Solve 3x−6 = 9

Now we have x = something ,

and a short calculation reveals that x = 5

Like a Puzzle

In fact, solving an equation is just like solving a puzzle. And like puzzles, there are things we can (and cannot) do.

Here are some things we can do:

• Add or Subtract the same value from both sides
• Clear out any fractions by Multiplying every term by the bottom parts
• Divide every term by the same nonzero value
• Combine Like Terms
• Expanding (the opposite of factoring) may also help
• Recognizing a pattern, such as the difference of squares
• Sometimes we can apply a function to both sides (e.g. square both sides)

Example: Solve √(x/2) = 3

And the more "tricks" and techniques you learn the better you will get.

Special Equations

There are special ways of solving some types of equations. Learn how to ...

• solve Quadratic Equations
• solve Radical Equations
• solve Equations with Sine, Cosine and Tangent

Check Your Solutions

You should always check that your "solution" really is a solution.

How To Check

Take the solution(s) and put them in the original equation to see if they really work.

Example: solve for x:

2x x − 3 + 3 = 6 x − 3     (x≠3)

We have said x≠3 to avoid a division by zero.

Let's multiply through by (x − 3) :

2x + 3(x−3) = 6

Bring the 6 to the left:

2x + 3(x−3) − 6 = 0

Expand and solve:

2x + 3x − 9 − 6 = 0

5x − 15 = 0

5(x − 3) = 0

Which can be solved by having x=3

Let us check x=3 using the original question:

2 × 3 3 − 3 + 3  =   6 3 − 3

Hang On: 3 − 3 = 0 That means dividing by Zero!

And anyway, we said at the top that x≠3 , so ...

x = 3 does not actually work, and so:

There is No Solution!

That was interesting ... we thought we had found a solution, but when we looked back at the question we found it wasn't allowed!

This gives us a moral lesson:

"Solving" only gives us possible solutions, they need to be checked!

• Note down where an expression is not defined (due to a division by zero, the square root of a negative number, or some other reason)
• Show all the steps , so it can be checked later (by you or someone else)
