Getting Ready

To prep this activity, I simply printed the puzzles onto cardstock and cut all of the pieces apart.

If you are hoping to use these year after year or in a classroom, I would also recommend laminating them. It is one extra step, but it really is worth it!

Using these puzzles in my first grade classroom was simple and easy!  My students were shown the various puzzle pieces:  the yellow centers (numbers 5-10) and the pink, orange and purple petals.

I explained that each flower had two petals of each color (a helpful hint for them to check their progress). I also explained that all they would need to do is spread the pieces out and start matching them.

Over the course of a few days, I had my students rotate through various math centers so that everyone would get a chance to try the new and exciting addition game.  The children worked with a partner to match the petals to the centers and, when they thought everything was matched correctly, I came over and quickly checked their work.

  1. I am trying to download these, but it blue download button does not appear to be ‘clickable’. It doesn’t do anything. Can you please send me a link to my email that accompanies this message? Thank you so much!

    1. Hi Fran,
      When you click the teal “Download Here” button, a pop-up should open. You can try checking to make sure your browser isn’t blocking pop-ups from the site or try using a different browser. It’s also possible that if you’re trying to download at school, your district’s web filter is blocking it. Please let me know if you’re not able to get the puzzles!
      Warmly,
