Maths vocabulary puzzle: ordering and place value
Here is a little word search to help children recognise and use the vocabulary expected of them in Year 1 to do with ordering and place value.
The words are:
more, less, plus, double, altogether, subtract, take, minus, half, difference and equals.
This is quite a difficult set of terms for children of this age (5/6 years old).
All the words on the wordsearch are either straight across or straight down – no diagonals.

Another free maths worksheet from mathsblog.co.uk
It’s a while since we had a number puzzle so here is one to do with the two times table. This should encourage children with writing answers in words to the two times table that they find within the wordsearch. Not quite as easy as it looks as words such as eighteen and twenty are quite tricky to spell.
