A set of maths-themed word search activities with multiple grids and accompanying word lists. Each puzzle explains how words are hidden in straight lines and may be read vertically, horizontally, diagonally, and in either direction, with letters allowed to repeat. Students locate each listed word in the grid, mark off letters once found, and tick items on the list, including an example already completed. The materials also include an instruction to list unused letters and several featured word lists spanning geometric and mathematical terms.

FAQs

How can words be arranged in the word search grids?

What should you do when you find a word in the grid?

Underline the word, write it at the end of the line, and tick it on the list; also mark the letters off in the grid.

What does the instruction about unused letters mean?

After completing the search, list all grid letters that were NOT used, in alphabetical order.
