Calculator Puzzles

One of my favorite activities for early finishers is Calculator Puzzles. 
Calculator Puzzles are a fun and engaging way for students to practice their math reasoning and computation skills.    
To use the Calculator Puzzles students must use ALL of the highlighted or shown digits and symbols to equal the number show in the gray display.   Students may only use each highlighted digit once.  Students will have to use different problem solving strategies such as “guess and check” to solve the math problems.  The Calculator Puzzles will allow students to practice math facts, mental math, and problem solving skills.  Even more importantly they are tons of fun for students and teachers! 

This is the easy addition and subtraction version


The challenge addition and subtraction version is a bit more difficult.

There is also an easy multiplication and division version of the cards.


The challenge version of the multiplication and division cards is really a challenge!
