Welcome to Math Musings!

Today’s Theme: Critter Fun
You're about to try one brain-stretching math challenge. First, pick your level of difficulty—from 1st to 5th grade—and you’ll get a question matched to that level. These are meant to make you think deeply, not just click quickly.
Take your time. Use a pencil and paper to write down your thinking. Try using strategies like Pattern Blocks, drawing a model, writing a number sentence, or making a diagram.
You can come back later to try other levels—or retry a question you missed.
❌ Guessing and clicking isn’t a real strategy.
🚫 No electronic helpers allowed—no calculators, smartphones, or computer help.
✔️ You’ve got this—take as long as you need!
