Teaching tips & learning objectives

Define and apply math vocabulary terms including fraction, factor, quotient, hexagon, octagon, and congruent.
Solve multiplication and division facts and locate the correct answers written as number words within a word search grid.
Distinguish between related geometry vocabulary, such as obtuse vs. right angles or area vs. perimeter.

Use the crossword as a vocabulary review before a geometry or fractions unit test, since it covers terms from multiple math strands in one puzzle.
Have students complete the multiplication/division facts on separate scratch paper first, then use the word search as a self-checking step once they search for their calculated answers.
Use the two activities as a two-day math center rotation around the Easter holiday rather than assigning both in a single sitting.

Math vocabulary application — students match definitions to terms like factor, quotient, congruent, and hexagon in a crossword format.
Multiplication and division fact fluency — students solve 20 basic facts and verify their answers by locating them in a word search.
