Looking for Fun Dot Day Activities and Worksheets? 

You’re in the right place! We’ve put together an exciting new tarsia puzzle for your students to practise multiplying single-digit numbers.

What is a Tarsia Puzzle?

Have you heard of Tarsia puzzles? They’re a fun and interactive way to help students understand mathematical concepts! Tarsia puzzles are jigsaw puzzles, but instead of just creating a picture, you put together pieces that contain equations or other mathematical representations to form a larger figure or design. These puzzles reinforce understanding and promote problem-solving skills, making maths class fun!

Create a Dot Day Maths Centre with Tarsia Puzzles

It’s almost Dot Day! You’ve got to drop in some dot-based fun in all subject areas! This tarsia puzzle features 16 pieces, each with multiple multiplication facts.  Students will colour and cut apart the pieces, then solve the puzzle by matching equations and answers to form a circle.

Your students will love this new practice activity, or should we say they’ll “have a ball” with it? 

This resource is available in multiple formats to meet your needs. We have included a quick-print PDF and editable Google Slides resource file. Use the dropdown arrow on the download button to select your preferred file.
