This Integer Operations Cut & Paste Puzzle is a cut and paste puzzle in which students practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers. Students find each sum, difference, product, and quotient, then cut out the puzzle pieces and arrange them on the template so that each operation matches its corresponding answer.
This activity works well as a review or reinforcement activity for grades 6–8 math or Algebra 1. I have also used it as a beginning-of-the-year activity with my Algebra 1 students to assess their integer operation skills without a calculator.
BONUS! This resource also includes Cornell Notes to review integer operations before completing the puzzle. The notes use a number line approach for adding and subtracting integers. Students rewrite subtraction of a negative as addition and addition of a negative as subtraction, then use the number line to determine the result.
