Are you looking for a fun and effective way to help your kids develop computational fluency? Try our Tangy Tuesday and Wordy Wednesday puzzle packs! Each pack is a collection of 5 math worksheets, designed to feel more like puzzles than equations. Traditional worksheets can be boring, yet very effective when it comes to building number sense through practice. Now, you don't have to choose! These are the perfect balance in a math worksheet, giving kids tons of practice in a way that is fun, challenging, and will have them asking for more.
Every Tuesday or Wednesday from September until June, we release a new set of worksheets for each of the 4 packs at every grade level. Over the course of a school year, that's over 200 worksheets per pack! When you purchase a license, it is a one-time payment, which grants you access to whichever pack(s) you purchase. It does not matter when you sign up! At the time you join, you will receive all back issues of puzzles that have already been released, plus all the puzzles going forward on a weekly basis until the license expires in June.

By the end of the year, kids who solve all 5 puzzles every week will have done thousands of problems designed to help them become better in math.
But that's not all. Our ultimate goal is for kids to enjoy solving problems - especially challenging ones. Students who solve these puzzles will struggle, learn to persevere, and ultimately become better, more creative thinkers. Through their own hard work, they will become smarter more successful students. In conclusion, to be good at anything, kids need to practice. In math, this means doing thousands of problems to develop conceptual understanding and fact and procedural fluency.
