Matchsticks Puzzles
To prevent any association with a matchstick, which can be a dangerous item for kids, I created 3 free puzzles with printable questions that use blocks instead. You can use any wooden blocks to let your students try them, making it a hands-on activity.
Try them first, before peeking into the math puzzles with answer at the bottom.
Answers to Matchstick Puzzles
There are many other matchstick puzzles that you can view and solve. Just search it on Youtube “Matchstick puzzles” and you can see many more.
I would prefer to choose puzzles that have some association with math, i.e. shapes or equations.
But go ahead and do what you think is the best for your class. You can quiz your students with questions that have out-of-the-box solutions during brain breaks or for your gifted and talented students.
KenKen
KenKen is similar to the Sudoku puzzle. But instead of just counting, you will need to use four operations skills to place the number in such a way that no number is repeated in any row or column.
You can play these free logic puzzles online.
A similar game is called Calcudoku.
Multiplication Table Logic Puzzles
You can download many logic puzzles for free at Mashup Math. They provide multiplication table grid puzzles, picture equations puzzles, and many more.
They also have seasonal puzzles that you use during the holidays.
P.S. I have some picture equation puzzles that you can also use with your students.

Conclusion
There are many different types of logic puzzles available out there. I love solving math puzzles because not only do they require students to use math skills, but they are fun too!
By the way, if you like grid logic puzzles, there are some freebies that you can download at TpT.
But if you don’t want to spend the time searching for quality puzzles, consider Printable Grid Logic Puzzles that let your students practice metric measurements (volume, mass, length) and deductive reasoning.
