Math Puzzle with Flowers — Grade 1

This is a mystery-picture math puzzle: a grid of within-twenty add and subtract problems sitting over a hidden image of flowers. The child solves every cell and the answers reassemble the tulips, daisies and a rose piece by piece. The arithmetic carries the whole task — the jigsaw is just the payoff — so it suits a Grade 1 child ready to practise adding and subtracting with something to show for it at the end.

Each cell is one clean add-or-subtract within twenty — the right size for Grade 1, where children are moving from counting toward knowing these small sums more readily. The puzzle never asks for bigger numbers or written methods; it asks for many small, correct answers, which is precisely the practice that builds confidence with adding and subtracting.

Children who like flowers get pulled straight into the solving — the hidden picture is a strong reason to finish every cell. When this feels easy, build another picture in math puzzle with furniture, or try math puzzle with shapes. You can also browse every math puzzle worksheet or the whole flowers collection for grade 1 — each one prints on a single page or plays online, revealing the picture as the answers go in.
