This free sample includes 4 word problem puzzle sets designed for first grade students. Students match a word problem, a visual model, and a number bond to build part–part–whole thinking and strengthen addition and subtraction within 20.

The consistent structure helps students focus on understanding the situation in the problem rather than just computing an answer.

These puzzles are a sample from the full 14-puzzle Word Problem Puzzles & Number Bonds set.
