Print out each puzzle on cardstock and cut out the pieces. Store each puzzle separately with one of the polygon puzzle mats in a resealable bag to be used again and again.
TIP: Draw the same shape on the back of each puzzle piece in a set so that you know those pieces belong together.

Students are to put the puzzle back together by connecting the sum with the corresponding number sentence. The puzzles start out with basic addition facts and move up in complexity. The hardest puzzle includes 3-digit numbers.

A full set of instructions and an answer key for each puzzle is included in the download.

These puzzles are great to use as math center activities.
