Have a Go at This One:

“All of Jenny’s pets are dogs except one. All of her pets are cats except one. How many cats & dogs does Jenny have?*
HINT – Jenny has less than 5 dogs and the answer is at the bottom of the page. Do resist the urge to jump straight to the answer 😉

What People Are Saying About These Maths Logic Puzzles:

☀ “I have a cluster classroom so this was great. I put it on Google classroom, and let my students use it when they had free time. It was very engaging and fun.”
☀ “We’ve been using these as warm-up questions. They love that it isn’t directly “Maths” (equations) and I love that they get really into solving these and getting their brains thinking outside of the box! Thank you!”
☀ “I use these for early finishers. They enjoy solving puzzles. As a result, they are practising but do not feel they are doing extra work.”
☀ “These problems are great for morning discussion or showing it during lesson transition”
☀ “My students will stop doing what they are doing and they will listen to the question. They hate it when someone answers without raising their hand.”

Your one stop shop for ENGAGING, AUTHENTIC ideas to keep your students busy, and schools wanting you to come back.
Be prepared and organised for any grade or subject by searching through our catalog of resources.

I have recognised the need to provide resources to free up very busy teachers by creating units of work and teacher planning e-books guaranteed to suit their needs and those of the students in their care. Packed with amazing websites and activities that I have tried and tested in the classroom over the years.

These inexpensive resources have taken hours of research and investigation to compile, and ultimately you will have a resource that will continue to grow as they are hyper-linked to my expanding Pinterest boards and Facebook group pages.

These are resources to be explored and investigated, bookmarked and re-vamped to suit your own teaching style and needs.
