Introducing The New Mini Math Mysteries

5/20/2021

2 Comments

 
Picture
I'm so excited to share with you my new Mini Math Mystery range! These Mini Math Mysteries are structured and completed differently to my usual Math Mystery resources. If you find that the regular Math Mysteries are too long, overwhelm your students, or if you prefer a shorter math activity, then these Mini Math Mysteries are for you. I'll also show you where to grab some for free to check out. 

What are Mini Math Mysteries? 

 Mini-Math Mysteries are a fun game-like one-page activity to practice math skills. They are a condensed version of a mystery and follow a simple elimination structure where students will be using their answers to eliminate possibilities. The mystery story is short (a couple of sentences to a paragraph), and unlike my regular mysteries, there are no clue messages or video hooks for these. I've designed these for educators who want something quick and short to assign to students while still keeping it fun! See sample page below:
Picture
How to use these math activities?
  • Print the page and make copies
  • OR use the Google Slides option provided for a digital worksheet
  • Read the short mystery story
  • Students complete the math questions. 
  • Students match their answers with the suspect/location images to eliminate them.. 
  • The last box remaining contains the 'bad guy' to the mystery, or the location solution.

Printable Awards and Brag Tags provided
To celebrate the success of solving a Mini Math Mystery, printable awards and brag tags are included with the Season sets. I created these as a way to add some motivation and encouragement in your classroom or at home when doing math. My son loves collecting the tags and gluing them to his chart to show all of the mysteries he has solved.

Multiple Uses:

There are so many ways that you can use these Mini Math Mysteries. Some include:
  • Math Center Task

Differentiated Options
