Using a 'crossword' format students are required to work out answers to mathematical problems.

Special Needs Sums 1

The 'crosswords' are in five sections:

• Addition - using two numbers not higher than 99, meaning an answer no higher than 198.
• Subtraction - with an answer no higher than 122. The largest number used is 198 (three feature numbers will only have a two figure number subtracted).
• Multiplication - using a range from the multiplication table (up to 12 x 12) but not using any with a single digit answer.
• A Combination - using a mix of the three above.
• A Combination - with word clues using the above first three but with a word clue (and here literacy joins with numeracy).

The uses for these puzzles include as a change of pace in a lesson, to support key skills, for a teacher assistant to support an individual, for a homework and for emergency non-specialist cover!
