Description
Order of Operations 5th Grade Math Mystery: The Case of the Jungle Joker
Students must complete FIVE math worksheets involving orders of operations to unlock FIVE clues! Then, your student detectives must use critical thinking and deductive reasoning to narrow down the list of suspects to find the Jungle Joker!
Easy prep! Just Print & Solve! Or go paperless with the Google Slides option provided within your download.

⭐Optional video hook included for introducing the case! (Check it out in the preview section)
⭐BONUS: Ending video added to wrap up the case!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⭐Math Skills Required to Unlock Clues⭐
There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:
- Clue 1: Order of Operations with no brackets
- Clue 2: Evaluating Expressions with Parentheses
- Clue 3: Order of Operations with no brackets
- Clue 4: More Evaluating Expressions with Parentheses
- Clue 5: Nested Parentheses
Students must use critical thinking skills to figure out what the clue is telling them to eliminate from the list of possibilities. Some clues are tricky! I recommend pausing to discuss as a class if your students become confused with a clue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
