Year 5 multiplication tarsia puzzles

Yesterday, the children in Miss Chau's maths set were applying their multiplication knowledge to 3 different levels of tarsia challenge. 

Harry Vincent, Elm, said 'I find the tarsias challenging but fun because we have to work out the answers to each multiplication sum before we can put the puzzle together'. 
Natalie Towner, Elm, added that 'Creating my own tarsia puzzle was enjoyable because I had to think up my own questions as well as checking that the answers were correct'. 

The children demonstrated impressive levels of resourcefulness by developing their reasoning skills by working out answers methodically and they also sought out connections between the different jigsaw pieces.
