Build memory math and quick arithmetic skills with Math Memory Puzzles: Fives. Reinforce Braille literacy, multiplication, and logic skills through the self-correcting experience of assembling a puzzle. The puzzle piece won’t fit if the math doesn’t add up! Puzzling is a positive way of practicing logic storytelling through patterns and numbers. Challenge students to work together to assemble the long, tabletop puzzle with minimal instructor oversight. Foster social emotional awareness through collaborative play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e54 puzzle pieces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAssembled: 9 in. x 36 in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor sighted \u0026amp; visually impaired learners ages 7+ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Braille and English readers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor tactile graphic learners\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWaterproof \u0026amp; easy to sanitize \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign for Everybody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWaterjet cut black PVC material with high contrast colors meet A.D.A standards for low vision and blind users.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eU.E.B Braille and large print English text\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTactile Braille indicators in upper right corners of each piece suggest vertical orientation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA tactile wavy line in the middle of each piece indicates the horizontal orientation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnique puzzle piece fittings prevent false matches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSort by reading braille, large print or numbers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMake three piles of pieces:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeft column pieces are spelled-out numbers (yellow)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMiddle column pieces are multiplication (yellow)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRight column pieces are answers (red)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003col start=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst assemble the left column border by matching pieces vertically from top to bottom: interlock pieces zero through seventeen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNext, build the puzzle horizontally by adding the middle column pieces starting with the top border: 0 x 5 and working top to bottom to assemble the middle column.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSolve the multiplication problems!

Move from rote memorization to logical derivation thinking. These puzzles are foundational to understanding math word problems. The “fives” concept is often taught as a logical shortcut. Since five is half of 10, the “fives trick” is all about pairs which is also the foundation of learning how to assemble a puzzle. Build number sense and reduce math anxiety by showing students that numbers are flexible tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h3\"\u003eAbout Puzzles for EveryBody™\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Puzzled Co. was started by Philip Einsohn, a former early-childhood educator turned Waterjet design expert. In 1977, Philip struggled to find educational puzzles that were inclusive of visually impaired students. He began crafting wood puzzles for his classroom and was one of the first to create braille puzzles for children. He jump-started The Puzzled Co. again in 2020. Using innovative technologies like Waterjet cutting and tactile printing, Philip realized his vision of inventing Puzzles for EveryBody™. These unique puzzles feature tactile clues creating a unique, sensory puzzling experience and learning resource for sighted and visually impaired players. All puzzles are cut and printed in-house by our family-run, Dallas-based, parent company Waterjet Works. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Puzzled Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51394278588580,"sku":"PFE-Math-Memory-Fives-Black","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/4566\/8516\/files\/39897E13-7E4F-4056-87A6-15DC55117949.jpg?v=1782960188","url":"https:\/\/www.thepuzzledco.com\/products\/math-memory-puzzles-fives-tactile-braille","provider":"The Puzzled Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
