Hundred Board Number Puzzles! Math Enrichment Activities (3rd grade)

This resource includes 20 higher order thinking puzzles designed to challenge and engage your high flyers. Your students will utilize critical thinking and problem solving skills while building a deeper understanding of numeracy and place value. Each of the 20 activities offers an interesting, non-routine way to explore essential math concepts and skills.

Each Hundred Board puzzle provides a series of 4-6 mathematical clues. Students use the clues to determine the value of the mystery number. While the focus of each activity is numeracy, the 20 riddles include a variety of upper elementary math skills, concepts, and vocabulary to promote integrated learning and challenge.

For example, puzzle #5 reads:

• The number is greater than the number of sides on a trapezoid.

• The mystery number is less than the perimeter of a 6 by 6 array.

• None of the digits are even.

• The sum of the digits equals 8.
