Tarsia Puzzlemaker
As a teacher, I love materials that are flexible and easy to use with students. Any content can be entered into the puzzle format from simple addition or ten frame images to images of graphs that can be matched to equations. The puzzlemaker automatically scrambles the answers so students can be given a whole sheet to cut apart themselves or teachers can have the sets pre-cut to increase active learning time. Card sorts can be done individually, in pairs, or small groups effectively.
Tarsia puzzles can be saved as PDFs for easy printing and sharing with other educators who may not have downloaded the puzzlemaker tool. There are other ways to extend the learning and increase student accountability like leaving one answer blank or as a question mark so the student will need to do the last answer on paper as a formative assessment task.
If you are interested in using Tarsia puzzles, but to busy to create your own, email me the topics or standards you need and I will create them to share on miPLACE.
Happy Puzzling!
