Cool math word puzzle

If Peter and Debra would share 6 candies, they would get 3 candies each! How many candies will they get, if they would share 8 candies?

This is a very nice grade 1 and 2 math word problem. Students have to group a number of candies and divide them by 2 people. Seems simple, but for the little ones quite a challenge. You could of course expand this problem and throw in 10 candies, 12 candies, etc...




With 1 math word problem teachers can tackle the entire table of 2. We found this excellent math puzzle online. Students have to calculate how to divide groups of candies and once done will have to find the outcomes in a word search.

This is what we call fun math material. You can find loads of similar math worksheets on www.mathinenglish.com.
