Love is in the air! And what better way to celebrate Valentine's Day in the classroom than by doing a little math? These brainteasers will challenge your students' skills and give their brains a good workout. 

Are you looking for some fun learning resources to go with your pirate theme? Or perhaps you would like something for 'Talk like a Pirate Day' that also incorporates math or ELA? Then, you might like to check out some of the highlighted teaching resources in this post.

Last week I wrote a post explaining 'What are Once Upon a Crime Reading Mysteries?' In this post, I aim to give you some implementation ideas and suggestions for using these reading mystery resources in your classroom.

Last week I posted a new logic puzzle to solve. As promised, this week I will show the answers along with a solution guide.

Were you able to solve it? Did you find it easy, hard, or just the right amount of challenge? If using in the classroom, how did your students find it? 

Either way, as simple as it looks, this was a challenging puzzle that required a fair bit of problem solving. In case there was any struggle with this challenge, I've included a solution strategy guide for solving this particular puzzle.
