Math Riddles for 6th Grade

Product Description

When you’re looking for just a little extra practice with a specific math skill, these “silly solutions” math riddles are a great alternative to a boring worksheet.

Kids will either be laughing at the jokes or rolling their eyes; but either way, they will want to figure out the punchline!

Not only are these great because they are just “print-and-go,” but they’re also great because they’re self-checking! If a student doesn’t see their answer on the riddle page, they know to go back to their work and try again.

With 20 different riddle pages covering a variety of 6th grade math skills, you can weave these into your lessons all year long. Or use these with 7th grade students to review prior skills before introducing new topics.

Each practice worksheet is a single black and white page, making it easy to prep. The practice pages include 9-12 math problems per page and cover a wide range of math skills. An answer key is also included.
