[img_assist|nid=4634|title=|desc=|link=popup|align=left|width=74|height=100]3 different Tarsia puzzles covering a range of topics including: percentages. converting metric measures, addition/subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, time, etc.
Puzzle 1 – set of 24 dominoes (E3-L2)
Puzzle 2 – 24 triangular pieces (forming a hexagonal puzzle). L1-L2
Puzzle 3 – 12 piece ‘oval’ parquet puzzle (made up of 4 squares and 8 triangles). L1-L2
Two 16 piece jigsaw puzzles with triangular pieces for learners to match up. Use for revision or as a warm-up activity. One covers the 3 times tables (from 0×3 to 17×3), the other covers the 5 times table in a similar fashion. The extension beyond the normal x10 (or x12) provides an extra challenge and will help learners develop mental multiplication strategies and a sense of number patterns.
Two Tarsia puzzles based around formal and informal language. Guaranteed to prompt discussion as learners solve the puzzles. I suggest that the smaller one (16 piece triangle) is roughly at L1 and the larger on (24 piece hexagon) is at L2. I have duplicated some of my word choices from Imogen Stewart’s excellent ‘Little Britain’ (Language: formal, informal or slang?) resource which was also about formal and informal language (see link below). ‘Cheers’ has ‘regards’ as its synonym because of email sign offs – which I have found to be an interesting topic for discussion.
This 16 piece triangular jigsaw is a great way to practise straightforward metric conversions (click on the picture left for details) and also finding simple fractions of amounts. Covers length, weight and capacity. As usual with Tarsia puzzles, you can choose to print either a standard or large version of the puzzle (select Output – large, i.e. three pieces per A4 sheet).
This 16 piece triangular jigsaw is a great way to practise matching numbers to their written-as-words equivalents. Numbers range from 10 to a million but overall are suitable for E2 and E3. As usual with Tarsia puzzles, you can choose to print either a standard or large version of the puzzle (select Output – large, i.e. three pieces per A4 sheet).

Have you ever used a Tarsia puzzle to encourage mastery of any subject matter?
These puzzles are tessellations composed of straight edged tessellating shapes, which have either questions or answers written on their sides.
They are easy to make yourself but there is Generator software available. But why bother with either of these options when you can simply print a Pdf with one already made for you?
How do you make a Tarsia Puzzle?
It is relatively easy to do, but time consuming.
First, decide on the questions & their answers. (I have created some for multiplication fact mastery.) Then create a number of tessellating shapes (I used the equilateral triangle) for mine.
Each triangle will have questions or answers written on their sides. The sides with corresponding questions and answers are placed together.
I found it easier to create the final shape I wanted first, then hand wrote the corresponding questions and answers on each of the triangles.
I left the 'outline' of the end result blank - this means that some of the triangles have one (or two) sides with neither a question nor an answer on them.
When this was finished (and I ensured there were no DUPLICATE answers, I then recreated my triangles on the computer!
Is there an easier way?

In fact there is, but I have not used what is available yet. There are a number of Tarsia Puzzle Creators online, many for free.
So why did I make my own?

I found that all the questions and answers were somewhat overwhelming for my daughter - so I wanted to indicate the answers differently, so it was easy to pick these out of all the puzzle pieces.
She is also a very artistic 9 year old, and if she found after completing the first one or two puzzles, that each would simply end up being a simple shape, she wouldn't be too inclined to continue with others.

This is why I made different 'images' (think of Tangram Silhouettes), to add an extra surprise!

The Quick way to get your hands on a Puzzle!
This printable Pdf has two different 'Tarsia' puzzles for you. One results in a swan and the other in a fish! Both of these puzzles are composed of multiplication math facts.
I do suggest printing each one on different colored paper for easy separation. If you decide to print them on the same color - don't mix the pieces up!
Also, consider printing on card as the puzzle pieces do get handled a lot. Or you could also laminate them.
Tarsia App
The image of the purple triangle shown above (my first attempt at making one) I put on magnetic paper, and stuck it on our white board - it could of course also be put on the fridge door, or use a baking sheet as a 'lap top' and the magnetized ones are a great activity while travelling.
