To learn how to compose and understand puzzles, it is worth understanding what they are.

Word "rebus" of Latin origin (lat. rebus, with the help of things, "Non verbis sed rebus" - "Not with words, but with the help of things"). The rebus originated in France in the 15th century, and the first printed collection of puzzles published in this country in 1582 was compiled by Etienne Taburo. In the time that has passed since then, the technique of compiling rebus problems has been enriched with a variety of different techniques.

So, rebus- this is one of the types of puzzles, a riddle for deciphering words. Encrypted according to certain rules in a rebus can be not only a single word, but also a proverb, saying, quote, riddle, and even a whole short story. Words and phrases in the rebus are depicted in the form of pictures, letters, numbers, notes and other various signs, the number of which is not limited. Solving the rebus is a whole science. When solving a rebus, it is necessary to write down all the signs in the form of a meaningful word or sentence. Although there are several types of puzzles (literary, mathematical, musical, sound, etc.), there are some general rules for compiling and solving them.

rebus example


GENERAL RULES FOR SOLVING PUZZLES

A word or sentence is divided into such parts that can be depicted in the form of a picture or any sign. The rebus is read from left to right, less often from top to bottom. Punctuation marks and spaces in the rebus are not taken into account. If one word is guessed in the rebus, then it should, as a rule, be a noun, moreover, in the singular and in the nominative case. Deviation from this rule must be stipulated in the conditions of the rebus. If a sentence is guessed (proverb, aphorism, etc.), then, naturally, it can contain not only nouns, but also verbs and other parts of speech. In this case, the conditions of the rebus must contain the appropriate phrase (for example: “Guess the riddle”). The rebus must have a solution, and, as a rule, one. The ambiguity of the answer should be specified in the conditions of the rebus. For example: “Find two solutions to this puzzle.” The number of techniques used in one rebus and their combinations is not limited.

REBUSES IN PICTURES

The simplest option, when the rebus consists of two pictures to help you create a new word. The names of the objects depicted in the rebus should be read in the nominative singular or plural if several objects are depicted.


rebus 1


OX + WINDOW = FIBER

rebus 2


TRAIL + EXPERIENCE = TRAILER

rebus 3


EYE + FACES = EYE


From the last example, it can be seen that the picture in the rebus can have more than one name (eye and eye, bees and swarm, etc.); or the image may have a general or private name (a bird is a common name; a swift, a swallow, a chicken is a private name). If the depicted object has two meanings, then it is logically necessary to determine the appropriate one. This is the hardest part of puzzles.

If the picture turned upside down, which means that the word is read backwards.


rebus 4


Inverted NOSE = SLEEP


If to the right or left of the picture is one or more letters- this means that these letters should simply be added. Sometimes they are preceded by a "+" sign. Sometimes the desired object in the picture is indicated by an arrow.


rebus 5



FLASK + SA = SAUSAGE

rebus 6



Letter X + LION = SHED

REBUSES WITH COMMA

commas to the right or left of the picture means that in the word conceived with the help of the picture, you need to remove as many letters as there are commas. At the same time, commas in front of the picture indicate how many letters need to be removed at the beginning of the hidden word, commas at the end of the picture indicate how many letters need to be removed from the end of the word. Sometimes the commas to the left of the image are drawn upside down, although this does not play a fundamental role.


rebus 7


VOL K - K = VOL

rebus 8


GA MAC - GA = MAC

rebus 9


BA RAB AN - BA - AN = RAB


The arrow pointing to the left above the picture indicates that after the word is deciphered, it must be read backwards.


rebus 10


DRESSER - KO, read from right to left = HOUSE

REBUSES WITH LETTERS AND NUMBERS

If above the picture is strikethrough letter, and there is another one nearby, then this letter in the word must be changed to the specified one. If one or more letters are simply crossed out, then they must be removed from the given word. The "=" sign also serves to replace one of the letters with another.


rebus 11


O R YOL \u003d Donkey

rebus 12


BA BARREL - BA = BARREL

rebus 13


KORO B A = CROWN

If the crossed out letter(s) stands as an independent figure, then it must be read with the addition of the “not” particle.


rebus 14


NOT UCH

Numbers can be used instead of a picture. If part of the word in the rebus is represented by a number, then the number is pronounced as a numeral.


rebus 15


Number SEVEN + letter I = FAMILY

rebus 16



STO number + letter L \u003d TABLE

Keep in mind that a number can have more than one name.


rebus 17


ONE + FORK = FORK

rebus 18


Letter W + QOL + letter A = SCHOOL

rebus 19



Letter P + ONE + AR KA \u003d MELLE

rebus 20



ON VAR + figure TWO + L EU \u003d BASEMENT

Several identical letters or other images in a row mean that you need to try to count them.


rebus 21



SEVEN letters I = FAMILY

rebus 22



THREE CATS + letter F = JERSEY

rebus 23


PAIR of letters D = PARADE

Numbers next to the picture are used to number the letters in a word. The number indicates the place of the letter in the given word, and the order in which the numbers are written determines the new place of this letter.


rebus 24


PINE = PUMP

rebus 25


PAINTER = GAUGE

If there are fewer numbers than letters in the hidden word, this means that only the specified number of letters must be selected from the hidden word.


rebus 26


A LL IGAT O R = GUITAR

The use of crossed out numbers means that the corresponding letters must be removed from the hidden word.


rebus 27



PAL AT KA = STICK

If two numbers with arrows pointing in different directions are shown next to the picture, it means that in the word it is necessary to swap the letters indicated by the numbers.


rebus 28


Z A M OK \u003d SMAMA

Roman numerals may also be used.


rebus 29



Forty A = FORTY

The use of fractions is not excluded. When a fraction is used in a rebus, it is unraveled as "ON THE"(divide by). If a fraction with a denominator 2 is used in the rebus, then this is unraveled as "FLOOR"(half).


rebus 30


Z divide by K \u003d SIGN

rebus 31


Gender of letter E = FIELD

crossed out sign "=" between pictures should be read as "NOT".


rebus 32



And not Y \u003d hoarfrost

PUZZLES BY THE TYPE "LETTERS IN A LETTER", "LETTERS ON OR UNDER THE LETTER"

Often in puzzles, letters are drawn placed in an unusual perspective relative to each other (one inside the other, one under or above the other, one runs towards the other, one goes out of the other, etc.). This means that it is necessary to describe a drawing or letter combinations using prepositions, unions: “I”, “B”, “K”, “U”, “C”, “FOR”, “FROM”, “ON”, “ON” , "BEFORE" and others.

If objects, numbers or letters are depicted one in the other, then their names are read with the addition of a preposition "IN" before or between titles.


rebus 33


In the letter O, the letter Z = WHO

rebus 34



The letter Z in the letter O + the letter H \u003d CALL

If one object is depicted after another, then their names are read with the addition of a preposition "FRONT" or "BEHIND".


rebus 35



Behind the letter L, the letter P \u003d ZALP

Usage horizontal bar between pictures, letters or numbers placed one below the other means the use of prepositions "ON THE", "ABOVE", "UNDER".


rebus 36


On the letter C, the letter T \u003d NAST

rebus 37


Under the letter C cok \u003d HOOP

rebus 38


C letter H letter E + letter G \u003d SNOW

Math games puzzles in pictures for schoolchildren in grades 5-7

Klochkova Natalya Konstantinovna, teacher of mathematics, MBOU "Bukharai secondary school", village of Bukharai, Zainsky district
Description: This work can be used in mathematics lessons in grades 5–7. Solving puzzles can be offered to students during oral counting, can be offered as didactic material for homework. This work can serve as a guide for extracurricular activities, electives. Solving puzzles develops the child's ingenuity and teaches him to find a way out of difficult situations, which, of course, will come in handy in life. Guessing puzzles, children replenish their vocabulary, develop attention and imaginative thinking, train visual memory, learn to write correctly and memorize new words.
Target: development of intellectual abilities, the formation of logical thinking.
Tasks:
Educational: teach students to solve puzzles with mathematical themes.
Developing: to expand the horizons of students in the field of mathematics.
Educational: to cultivate a conscious attitude towards mathematics as an important subject.
Introduction:
A rebus is a puzzle in which a word is encrypted. This word is given in the form of drawings using letters and numbers, as well as certain figures or objects. Rebus is one of the most interesting puzzles.
In this picture, the word COMPUTER is encrypted.

There are certain rules for solving puzzles.
1. A comma at the very beginning of a word indicates that you need to remove the first letter in this word, and a comma at the end - remove the last letter in the word. Two commas - remove two letters. In the word mosquito we remove the last two letters AR, in the word iron we remove the first letter U and the last letter G.
2. Crossed out numbers indicate that the letters in this place are removed. In the word five, we remove the second and third letters, that is, YAT. If letters are crossed out, they are also removed from the word.
3. Non-crossed out numbers show that the letters in place 2 and 3 must be swapped. In the word iron, the letters T and Yu are interchanged with YUT. And now we read the word in full.
In this picture, the word PERPENDICULAR is encrypted.


4. If the picture is upside down, then the word made up with the help of the picture is read from right to left. It is not the word turnip that is read, but aper. The first letter A is removed. In the word stump, the last letter b is removed. The word whale is read the other way around. In the word chair, the first two letters ST are removed. The names of all objects depicted in the rebus are read only in the nominative case.
5. "Arrow" or "equal" sign indicates that one letter must be replaced by another. In our case, in the word tick, the letter T must be replaced with the letter D. Now the word can be read in full.
On this picture the word EAST is encrypted.


6. Letters, words or pictures can be displayed inside other letters, above other letters, under and behind them. Then prepositions are added: IN, ON, OVER, UNDER, FOR. We have the number STO in the letter O, so we get B-O-STO-K.
In this picture, the word CARD is encrypted.


7. The numbers under the picture indicate that from this word you need to take the letters that stand in the places under the numbers 7,2,4,3,8 and compose them in the order in which the numbers are located. In the word cheesecake, you need to take the letters 7-K, 2-A, 4-P, 3-T, 8-A. You can read the word.
Let's try to solve some puzzles from the field of mathematics.

All tasks are decorated with bright pictures and interestingly illustrated, so the puzzles will captivate the children. And you can try to make it yourself. It will be even more interesting.

Children are introduced to geometry at an early age. Although at that time they still do not suspect that all these various figures are an integral part of a complex and incomprehensible science, of which geometric puzzles. Toddlers aged 2-3 years old are already being offered children's educational gameswhere it is necessary to combine wooden squares, triangles and rectangles with the corresponding cells. So for the first time, kids get acquainted with a variety of geometric shapes, angles, sides of figures.

A square is a regular quadrilateral in which all sides and angles are equal. Of course, talking about geometric puzzles, you must provide puzzles about the square, it seems to you that this is an overly complicated word and you won’t be able to come up with a puzzle on your own. First, let's remember all the rules for solving puzzles, and divide the word square into components - “square - at”. How can I draw a "square", what methods should be used here. You can use the "frame" and indicate under the picture that the letter "B" should be inserted into the word. Now let's move on to the next part - "at", this can be an image of "robe" with three commas in front of the picture.

The simplest geometric puzzles are always made up of small words, for example, a ball, a circle, and so on. You can easily make a rebus "ball" - just draw a "scarf" and put one comma after the image.

Geometric figures are also used in psychology. A very popular test for determining the nature of personality, where the person being tested is given a choice between five shapes: a square, a rectangle, a circle, a triangle, a broken line. It is necessary to arrange them in descending order, and based on the test data, conclusions are drawn regarding the character of a person. For example, if a square is in the first place, then the person in front of you is hardworking, a person with logical thinking and mathematical analysis. Triangles are leaders by nature, this is a self-confident and self-centered person.

The one who put the rectangle in the first place is an unpredictable person, curiosity and inquisitiveness are the main qualities of his character, he has a keen interest in everything that happens, courage. Rectangles are often in a state of confusion, uncertainty, entanglement in problems. The circle is a symbol of harmony. These people experience other people's failures and rejoice in other people's achievements, they are emotional. But the zigzag speaks of a creative person who is characterized by figurative thinking. Such a person cannot work in one place for a long time.

But puzzles are also often used in psychology to determine the level of a person’s logical thinking, because in order to solve them there is no need to have any knowledge in the field of mathematical sciences, it is enough just to draw the right logical chains that will lead to the correct answer.

Puzzles for schoolchildren with solutions and answers.

Mathematical problems are very diverse in complexity, so start solving with your child from kindergarten. Kids almost always like math puzzles, so you won't need to force your kid to study. We will try to tell you about the benefits that mathematical puzzles bring to children, and what kind of puzzles can be offered to solve for schoolchildren of a certain age.

Why do we need math puzzles for children?

Mathematics is considered the most difficult science that can cause a lot of problems for a student during learning. But after all, without the usual skills of mental counting and various mathematical techniques, it is impossible to simply live normally in the future.

Long and rather complex mathematical classes, especially from the 1st to the 4th grades, tire the children and do not give them the opportunity to properly absorb the information they hear. If you want to prevent this from happening to your child, offer him to study mathematics in a playful way, for example, in the form of mathematical puzzles or rebuses.

Many schoolchildren of modern times love to have fun at the expense of computer games or communicate on social networks with classmates in their leisure time. However, today there are those children who do not spend their own time on such toys, but prefer the development of logic and ingenuity.

Currently, the Internet is filled with a variety of sites where you can easily find logical riddles and puzzles. They are designed not only to spend your own time, but also to be useful, and most importantly, entertaining. Many parents have already been able to appreciate the advantage of mathematical puzzles, charades, puzzles, rebuses, as their children, thanks to them, were able to develop much faster.

Thanks to mathematical puzzles and tasks, the child begins to reason more correctly much faster. He has a mind and logic.

The advantage of math puzzles is that they are not considered ordinary math problems. From the first meeting, they interest the children with their original presentation, arouse in children the desire to quickly find the answer to this or that puzzle.

If you start with your child to regularly find solutions to mathematical puzzles, your baby will very soon begin to solve more complex problems that he could not solve before without any problems. Get your child interested in ordinary mathematics, and mathematical puzzles will help you with this.

Mathematical puzzles and puzzles are riddles of varying degrees of complexity, compiled using graphic elements. Solving such puzzles is very exciting. In addition, older children with great pleasure can independently compose mathematical puzzles for friends and classmates, which will allow them to better train their own mind and intellect, plus develop logic.

If the puzzles are presented in the form of complex riddles, children have to “break” their heads a little in order to find the right solution. During this exciting and informative lesson, your child will form non-standard solutions. In the future, this skill will be useful to your child in order to find possible ways out of various situations.

And most importantly, mathematical puzzles and puzzles will give your child a lot of positive mood. If he solves such puzzles with friends or with you, he will be able to further socialize and strengthen relationships.

Now let's figure out how to solve mathematical puzzles correctly. Colorful pictures depicting some specific objects, numbers, signs and letters, constantly arouse “mad” interest in children. But such pictures, as a rule, seem to them a real chaos. And all because children do not know how to solve puzzles correctly.



Accordingly, they think that such pictures do not make sense. But this can be easily fixed if you carefully study the main rules for solving these puzzles:

  • The names of the pictures that are encrypted are presented only in the nominative case. When you look at a picture with an object, think about what name this image might have. Accordingly, if you see an eye in the picture, then the “eye” may be encrypted in the picture. Never stop at one answer.
  • If the picture shows a comma, it means that a certain letter or several at the same time must be removed from a given word. Everything will depend on where the comma is located: before the image or after it.
  • Often in puzzles of this kind there are letters that are underlined. This is very easy to solve. You guess the word in the picture, and then remove those letters that are underlined. If the picture shows underlined numbers, then you need to remove the letters that correspond to the serial number. If there are numbers and letters next to an ununderlined image, then you need to leave only these letters.
  • If the picture has a value B \u003d R, then you need to replace the letters "B" with the letter "R". If you see such an equality 2 \u003d O, then in the word replace the second letter with "O". Also, there may be an arrow in the picture, for example, from the first letter to the third, then they just need to be replaced with each other.
  • There are pictures that shown upside down. Then read the word from the end.
  • There are mathematical puzzles in which there are fraction. They are easily deciphered: you need to insert the preposition "on". If the denominator has a "2" it means "gender". In some cases, you may notice that there is a syllable or letter in the inside of the letter. This is interpreted as follows: for example, if inside the letter “O” is “Yes”, then this picture means “Water”.

There are other rules that will help you learn how to solve complex puzzles or number puzzles. But the child should get acquainted with them after he learns to solve simple problems.



Spend more of your free time with your children. Solve puzzles with them, teach them to find solutions to these puzzles, as this has a positive effect on the brain activity of a developing organism.

Mathematical puzzles with answers for children in grade 1: photo, solution, description

If your child starts solving logical problems from the 1st grade, he will quickly develop ingenuity, thinking, the ability to draw correct conclusions and perform analysis. It is this approach to increasing mathematical capabilities that has the greatest positive side for the formation of correct thinking in children.

We all know that a program drawn up for a school, as a rule, involves only teaching children to solve certain types of problems. Scientists argue that it is more important that a first-grader from the very first school steps be able to learn to think perfectly and reason correctly. They also confirmed that non-standard tasks that need to be solved with ingenuity and a little thinking very often put in a difficult situation even those children who study only excellently at school.

We offer you a large number of mathematical puzzles for schoolchildren. Solve them together with the children, find the right solutions together, relax so that the child is interested.

The numbers that are the same are indicated in the picture by the same elements. Different numbers are different.



The first rebus (see source)

Think together, which number did the magician decide to turn into a snake?

Solution:

In the first example, the snake and the turtle can hide the following pairs of numbers: 0 - 4 or 1 - 3. Now add these numbers. In the first case, you get 4, in the second - also 4.

In the second example of the rebus, only the second combination of numbers is suitable, since if you subtract 2 from 3, you get 1.

Answer: a unit is hidden behind the snake.



Solution:

In the word "bone" instead of "O", put "And", and remove the last letter altogether. In the second word, replace "I" with "A".

Connect these two words.

Answer:

Tassel.

Mathematical puzzles with answers for children in grade 2: photo, solution, description

In the 2nd grade, the program is more difficult than in the 1st. The learning process becomes more laborious, so you need to help your child.

Of course, study is needed, but you can’t overload a student too much. The program that is given at school and homework will be enough. There are schoolchildren who do well at school, but when they come home, they begin to refuse to do their homework.

But you know that children definitely need to repeat the material they have studied at school, learn something new, catch new words for them, develop their own thinking, and so on. Perhaps you think that a child in the 2nd grade has already become an adult, you begin to give him a lot of new information in the form of additional lessons, and then you wonder why your efforts do not give positive results.

The fact is that your baby gets tired at school, he wants to play a little and have a good rest. A game, for example, mathematical puzzles, will help him in this. There are many such puzzles. But there are parents who make the mistake of choosing an entertaining puzzle that is not age appropriate.

Don't do this either. Carefully study the options for mathematical puzzles that we offer you. They are designed specifically for 2nd grade students.

Solution:

The picture shows the key. In this word, remove the last two letters. And at the end of the word itself, put "YK".



Answer:



Solution:

The picture shows an umbrella. Remove the last two letters from the word. Put a "U" in front of the word and a "R" at the end.

Mathematical puzzles with answers for children in grade 3: photo, solution, description

Puzzles that are intended for 3rd grade students can be divided into some types. It all depends on the discipline in the school to which these puzzles belong. They can also be divided according to the level of difficulty.

Teachers have repeatedly proven that mathematical puzzles help the student to more effectively absorb the learning process. They argue that thanks to such puzzles, the child begins to think well and develops his creative ability. And math puzzles help improve your mood in order to learn new subjects.

It is very difficult to single out those puzzles that are suitable for a 3rd grade student. We want to offer you some options that you can solve with your child.



Solution:

The picture shows a rhombus. Remove the last two letters "M" and "B". put "K" in front of the word, and "T" at the end.

Answer:



Solution:

The picture shows a house. Remove the first letter "D". Put the letter "L" in front of the word.

Mathematical puzzles with answers for children in grade 4: photo, solution, description

Schoolchildren in the 4th grade are already beginning to get acquainted with the spatial representation. Children learn superficial geometric shapes and their simple properties, gradually begin to make light drawings, while using primitive measuring instruments. It is during this period of time that children begin to form the basis for future learning.

Schoolchildren are moving on to a more complex science, which will soon be divided into a couple of courses: the first course is algebra, the second is geometry. Often, in order for students to take a break from a hard lesson, teachers use additional tasks, for example, mathematical puzzles and rebuses. We offer you some of them, which, perhaps, you will solve with your child.



Solution:

In the picture you see the word and the image of the object "knife". Instead of the number 100, write the word "one hundred". In front of the word "knife" remove the first letter. Connect all letters.

Answer:



Solution:

The picture shows a mushroom. Remove the first letter from the front of the word. Instead of the letter "I" put the letter "Y". Put "KA" at the end of the word.

Answer:



Solution:

The picture shows a leaf and a goose. In the first word, swap the letters as shown in the picture. In the second word, remove the first three letters. Then try to read what you got.

Answer:

Mathematical puzzles with answers for grade 5 children: photo, solution, description

For students who have already moved to the 5th grade and above, there are their own complicated mathematical puzzles. Above them, children must seriously work to find the correct answer. If this does not happen, the problems simply will not interest the guys and then they will not be useful.

For fifth graders, we offer you the following puzzles:



Solution:

The picture shows a wasp and a shot. Since we have a fraction here, then the solution is this: under the letter “H” is a wasp. Subtract the last letter from the word "wasp". And then fold under + n + oc (the last letter is already missing).

Answer:



Solution:

The combination "FOR" is in the letter "A". The solution is: in + a + for.

Answer:

Mathematical puzzles with answers for children in grade 6: photo, solution, description

In the 6th grade, children are already quite adults. This means that the math puzzles need to be more difficult as well.



Solution:

The picture shows an inverted mushroom and a wasp. Proceed as follows: read the word "mushroom" backwards. In the same word, instead of the letter "G", put the letter "K". Subtract the first two letters from the word "wasp". Add up the rest of the letters.

Answer:



Solution:

Here, to find a solution, the child will have to think a little. Don't tell him the answer right away. Let your student think about the answer himself, and you listen to what kind of solution he will offer you.

Answer:

Mathematical puzzles with answers for children in grade 7: photo, solution, description

As a rule, in the 7th grade, children begin algebra and geometry. They are already familiar with many geometric shapes, their thinking is better developed than that of primary school students. This means that such children need mathematical puzzles with a high degree of complexity.



The picture shows a combination of letters and numbers. Instead of the number 100, write the word "one hundred". Now connect all the letters. It really takes a little thought.



The picture shows the number 7, the letter "K" and the mouth. "7" write the word "seven" and subtract the last two letters from it. The mouth is depicted upside down. So you need to read it backwards from the end.



The picture shows a pen with a meter. The comma says that you need to remove the last letter from the word "pen". Everything is very simple. Connect those letters that remain from the word "pen" with the letter "I" and the word "meter".
