What educators are saying

I love these activities for students to do with a partner or with their small group. They mystery is so fun for them to try and solve and I love to see them working together. These activities have become my favorite way to review previously taught math concepts!
My students LOVE the math mysteries. They are such a nice break in routine, but still practicing math skills!

Distance Learning Update: I've added a Word Document in the folder containing a Google Slides link to share this resource with your students via Google Classroom or Drive. Parts of the pages are editable, so your students can complete them without printing the pages. Please note you will need to make a copy of the Google Slides to your drive before you can edit.-

Preparation

- Easy Prep! Print the student pages, staple or place in a folder, and your students are set to solve the math mystery.

- Have the video hook ready for viewing at the start of the lesson on an IWB, iPad or computer monitor screen (optional).

- Editable suspects list included: This enables you to change the suspect names to alter the final mystery outcome. Two alternative pre-made lists also included for a quick swap out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Math Skills Required to Unlock Clues

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

Clue 1: Division (With Visual Models provided)

Clue 2: Dividing by 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s

Clue 3: Dividing by 6s, 7s, 8s and 9s

Clue 4: Division Word Problems (Facts: 1-12 + bonus challenge question at the end)

Clue 5: Dividing by 10s, 11s and 12s

Students must use critical thinking skills to determine what the clue tells them to eliminate from the list of possibilities.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Multiple Uses

- Suitable for independent, pairs, or group work.

- Use as part of your math centers, add to your sub tubs, make it part of your early finisher tasks, give for homework, or make it part of your classroom practice/review sessions.

I recommend pacing this activity by giving students one clue at a time. Once the whole class has completed a clue, then move on to the next clue, either within the same lesson or the next math session. New math content presented? Make a lesson out of it by modeling the math before diving into the clue. I like to say, "we must learn something new before attempting the next clue."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How long will this activity take?

Time to complete will vary anywhere between 30mins - 2 hours or more! It mainly depends on how familiar your students are with the math mystery format and how difficult they find math skills covered in the particular mystery. Please check the math skills outlined in the clues above to help determine suitability for your class.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.
Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
