Number Puzzles

I did it!  Through many, many headaches I've completed my number puzzles.  This project made me realize just how difficult it is to work with clipart.  I will have to say that they did turn out cute.  I made three different sets of puzzle cards.

The first set contains puzzles for the numbers 1-10.  Each number has three pieces with a bonus fourth piece to allow for differentiation.  Each puzzle contains the numeral, the number represented in tally mark, the number represented in base ten blocks, and the bonus piece contains the number word.

The second set contains puzzles for the numbers 11-20.  I did this set the same way as the numbers 1-10.

The third set contains puzzles for the numbers representing tens from 10-100.  This set was very challenging to make the clipart do what I wanted it to do. Each number in this set has three pieces with a bonus fourth pieces for differentiation.  This time, each puzzle contains the number, the number represented in base ten blocks, the number represented in ten frames (there was no way I was making that many tally marks and besides I taught my first graders last year not to draw by ones when your number is above 30 because it takes too long and it is hard to count) and the bonus piece contains the number word.   I did make two different variations for the number 100, one puzzle has the number shown using base ten 10 rods and the the other with the 100 block.

I can't wait for my 4 year old niece to try this!
All items are now in my teacherpayteacher store.  I even created a bundle with all three of the puzzle sets.  To celebrate the start of football season and the many long hours I spent creating these.  My puzzles will be on sale until after the Miami Dolphin game on Sunday.

Each set will be set at a sale price of $2.25, regular price is $2.75.  The bundle will be on sale for $5.00, regularly priced at $6.50.

Here are the links to each of the sets:

I'm thinking about making a mixed up sentence center with these puzzles too but that is going to have to wait a while.  I've spent too much time working on these that I need a break.
