  • A Did You Know? fact connected to the theme for enrichment or discussion

  • Seasons & Holidays (e.g., Halloween, Easter, Valentineโ€™s Day)

  • Math Concepts (e.g., Addition, Number Words)

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Solve eight basic multiplication facts (products from 2 through 9)

  • Locate a spelled-out number word inside a grid, searching horizontally, vertically, or diagonally

Teaching tips

  • Have students solve all eight multiplication facts first and write out each product's spelled name before starting the search, so they know exactly which words to look for

  • Review the three search directions (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) from the instructions page as a class before students begin, since words are not limited to one direction

  • Offer both coloring and circling as marking options, since the instructions explicitly leave that choice to the student

Skills covered

  • Basic multiplication fact recall โ€” students solve eight single-digit multiplication facts (1ร—2 through 3ร—3) to determine which words to search for.

  • Number-word recognition โ€” the words hidden in the grid are the spelled-out products (two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine) rather than numerals.

  • Directional word-search puzzle solving โ€” students locate each word reading horizontally, vertically, or diagonally through the puzzle grid.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What determines which words are hidden in the grid?

The hidden words are not given directly โ€” students must first solve eight multiplication facts (1ร—2 through 3ร—3) printed on the puzzle page, then search for the spelled-out product of each one.
