Today I’m sharing a new Cover the Shape Puzzle with you. If you’ve been following along with my puzzle table adventures, you’ll be happy to know that this week’s puzzle uses the same pieces as Cover the Duck, Cover the Camel, and Cover the Heart.
I couldn’t figure out a clever name for this week’s puzzle, so it’s got the so-exciting name of “Cover the Shape Puzzle.” I’m open to changing the title if you’ve got any great ideas!
The goal of the cover the shape puzzle is to use the five puzzle pieces to perfectly cover the puzzle board. I had several students solve this puzzle in a few minutes on their first try.
But, there were also plenty of incorrect solutions left behind by students who didn’t finish as well.
The Cover the Shape Puzzle is from Puzzle Box Volume 3.
I cannot recommend this series of puzzle books enough for classroom teachers. Every time I flip through one of these books, I end up bookmarking ten more things I want to create for my students!

Puzzle Solutions
Puzzle solutions are available on a password-protected solution page. I do not openly post the puzzle answer keys because one of my goals as a resource creator is to craft learning experiences for students that are non-google-able. I want teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms without the solutions being found easily on the Internet.
Please email me at sarah@mathequalslove.net for the password to the answer key database featuring all of my printable puzzles and math worksheets. I frequently have students emailing me for the answer key, so please specify in your email what school you teach at and what subjects you teach. If you do not provide these details, I will not be able to send you the password.
Not a teacher? Go ahead and send me an email as well. Just let me know what you are using the puzzles for. I am continually in awe of how many people are using these puzzles with scouting groups, with senior adults battling dementia, or as fun activities in their workplace. Just give me enough details so I know you are not a student looking for answers to the puzzle that was assigned as their homework!
