Number Search Puzzles
Series B Medium Difficulty

Using puzzles is a great way to learn Math facts and develop mental calculation and thinking skills in a fun and easy way.

Most children are much more engaged and motivated solving puzzles than working out pages of traditional math facts.

Using these math puzzles below will help your child to develop their Math fact skills as well as their strategic thinking and reasoning.

There are different versions of each puzzle from 1st to 5th grade, so it is easy to find an easier or harder version of the same puzzle. Each puzzle comes complete with answers.

Number searches can be very useful for developing children's number recognition and memory skills.

They can also be a good way for some children to relax and focus on a straightforward task.

All of the puzzles on this page involve trying to find numbers in a number grid.

The puzzles on this medium page involve finding numbers written horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The numbers may also be written backwards (e.g.. right to left) to make them harder to find.

The sheets get gradually harder, with larger numbers and bigger grids.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

• develop number recognition skills;
• help to develop short term number memory;
• not to be daunted or phased with large numbers.

All the puzzles come with an answer sheet.

We have a selection of easier sheets suitable for children from 1st grade and upwards.

The numbers searches on the sheets go only horizontally from left to right, or vertically down.

We have a selection of trickier sheets which are more challenging than those on this page.

The numbers searches on these sheets are on larger grids and have more digits.

It's great when kids have fun and are learning math skills without really thinking about it. These number fill in puzzles are a great way to develop thinking skills and getting kids to check all the possibilities.

The following riddles involve using a series of clues to find the correct answer from a selection of 6 or 8 different numbers.

The riddles cover place value up to 10,000 as well as square numbers, palindromes, odd and even numbers and decimals.

We have a range of different Math puzzles suitable for children from 1st grade and upwards.

The puzzles involve different skills, from solving number problems to developing logical thinking skills.
