Description
This is a packet of 56 Math Brain Teasers with Answer Key presented in two formats. If you want to give your students several Brain Teasers at once, use the first format. If you’d rather use one at a time and want room for students to show their work, use the second.

56 fun math brain teasers! Simple math but the wording or application gets students to have to really think about their processing. Nice two format options.

I love this resource and the ease with which I can use it with my students! It is engaging and helps deliver content in such a way that my students enjoy learning.
Mara M. –
My students really enjoy coming in every morning and working on the math brain teasers. We discuss strategies used to solve the different ones and students share their strategies on the white board.
Cheryl H. –
My students used these as a challenge activity. I had them work in a group of 2 or 3 students. We went over the strategies they could use to help them solve the problem. They could not wait for the answer reveal to see if their group had a strategy that gave them the solution! I loved having this resource.
