Kick Off Dot Day Math With a Multiplication Puzzle!

Celebrate creativity and math together with this multiplication puzzle designed in a colorful, circular tarsia format, perfect for International Dot Day! With this engaging Dot Day Printable, students solve multiplication problems to match pieces together and complete the circle, combining problem-solving with a hands-on, collaborative activity.

Using a Tarsia-Style Math Multiplication Puzzle

This math multiplication puzzle features a bright, dot-themed design to inspire students while reinforcing their multiplication tables. The fun and challenging tarsia format encourages learners to think critically as they solve and align problems and answers, making multiplication practice feel more like a game than a worksheet. It’s an engaging way to combine art, logic, and math practice in one go.

Our Tarsia Style Multiplication puzzles feature 16 individual pieces, each with multiple multiplication facts on it.  Students will color and cut apart the pieces, then solve the puzzle by matching equations and answers to form a circle.

Your students will love this new practice activity, or should we say they’ll “have a ball” with it?
