Just a quickie tonight to share the love for a few maths puzzle booklets I’ve found kicking around on the Internet. I’m not sure where they’ve come from originally, but here are the links:

There’s a great selection of cross-numbers, riddles, mazes and other general puzzles that spice up basic practice a little more than a generic worksheet. I’ve used some of these to support our work on numeracy in tutor time across the school, and also for end-of-term puzzle races.
