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. I’ve began making my own seasonal fill-in puzzles for my early finishers to complete such as my Fall Fill-In Puzzle and Halloween 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.
Instructions
Place each of the provided careers that use mathematics in the grid exactly one time each. One letter must be placed in each box.
Using This Puzzle in the Classroom
I have started using these fill-in puzzles as one of the options for my students who are early finishers to choose from.
I hang them on my dry erase board inside one of my Charles Leonard magnetic pockets.

Puzzle Solutions
I intentionally do not make answers to the printable math puzzles I share on my blog available online because I strive to provide learning experiences for my students that are non-google-able. I would like other teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms as well without the solutions being easily found on the Internet.
However, I do recognize that us teachers are busy people and sometimes need to quickly reference an answer key to see if a student has solved a puzzle correctly or to see if they have interpreted the instructions properly.
If you are a teacher who is using these puzzles in your classroom, please send me an email at sarah@mathequalslove.net with information about what you teach and where you teach. I will be happy to forward an answer key to you.
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, as fun activities in their workplace, or as a birthday party escape room.
