About this word search
This list mixes plain number names with the language of a maths lesson. Addition, Subtraction, Multiply and Divide sit next to Fraction, Decimal and Percentage, so it works as revision in years five and six and as a puzzle for any adult who likes numbers.
Every direction is used, including backwards. The hyphens in Ninety-nine and Forty-two vanish in the grid, leaving NINETYNINE and FORTYTWO. Short words like Plus, Odd and Even hide easily inside longer runs of letters, so tick them off last.
Afterwards, students can pick three of the words and write a word problem with them, for example a recipe that has to be doubled or a jumper with a quarter off the price.
