Inspire your students to explore careers that use mathematics with this fun fill-in puzzle.
As a child, I always loved the logic of completing a fill-in puzzle.
This Jobs That Use Mathematics Fill-In Puzzle was actually originally created for the Oklahoma Council of Teachers of Mathematics Fall 2024 Newsletter. I decided it deserved to be shared with teachers all over the country/world.
This puzzle is just one of many free printable fill-in puzzles (also known as criss cross puzzles) that I have created for my own classroom and am sharing with you!
Be sure to check out my entire collection of free printable word puzzles.

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!
