New Google Slides Updates Coming to Mystery worksheet resource packets

4/2/2020

0 Comments

With the many school closures, and the sudden high demand for distance learning solutions, I'm working on turning the printable math and reading mystery worksheets into Google Slides for digital completion and easy sharing with your students. I hope that with these updates, you will be able to assign these mystery tasks via Google Classroom to your students and they can complete on their computers without having to print.

I am adding these updates to existing mystery packets so that if you already own the printable mystery worksheets, you won't have to purchase the digital mystery worksheets again. 

Please note that these digital worksheet updates are different to my CSI Digital Math Games full of graphics. These new distance learning updates to existing mystery packets are giving you the same printable worksheets with a digital text box overlay on Google Slides to enable completion without the need to print. 

In this post, I will:
  • Highlight which mysteries I have updated so far and how to retrieve them if you already own them. 
  • Provide a free sample so that you can trial and test.
  • Provide some support information for common troubleshooting issues experienced with Google Slides. 
MYSTERIES UPDATED SO FAR & HOW TO RETRIEVE THEM
I will be working as fast as I can to get through the math and reading mystery resources in my range to provide you with the new Distance Learning Google Slides option. I will be updating the resources on both my Teachers Pay Teachers store and my website shop 'Learning Made Fun.' 
>> If you already own these resources on TpT, go to your 'My Purchases' Tab and download the ZIP folder again. Inside your ZIP folder, you will see a new Word Document Added labeled 'Google Doc_(Mystery Title)_G#. The Google Slides link will be found within the word document. 

>> If you have already purchased one of the updated mysteries from my website shop and would like the Google Slides option, please send an email to jjresourcecreations@gmail.com with the order number or name your purchase would have been under and I will forward the update to you. 

These are the Mysteries containing the Google Slides update at this stage:
  • Time Math Mystery: The Case of the Time Traveling Troll
  • Easter Math Mystery: The Case of the Egg Thief
  • Easter Math Mystery: The Case of the Rotten Eggs
  • Spring Math Mystery: The Case of the Bee Bandits
  • Fractions Math Mystery: The Case of the Forgetful Pharaoh
  • Geometry Math Mystery: The Case of the Giant Goblin
  • Algebra Math Mystery: The Case of the Alien Apocalypse
  • Earth Day Math Mystery: The Case of the Litterbug
  • FREE Math Mystery: The Case of the Super Bad Superhero
  • Easter Reading Mystery - Eggpocalypse
  • Reading Mystery - Once Upon a Crime, Stolen Time
  • Private Eye CSI Literacy Mystery - The Case of the Masked Menace
  • Private Eye CSI Literacy Mystery - The Case of the Wacky Wand
  • Private Eye CSI Literacy Mystery - The Case of the Ruined Research


If in doubt as to whether I have included the Google Slides in a mystery packet, check the product description for the message below:

If you do not see this message in the product description, it means that I have not updated that packet to include a Google Slides option, yet. 

To stay informed about which products I've recently updated, you can follow me on Facebook and check my posts to see what new packets I've updated OR subscribe to my newsletter to receive a weekly summary update. 
FREE Math Mystery Download with a Google Slides Option to try
Technology can be testing and a different experience for everybody. Plus, I know that when I am stressed out, it can easily become a frustrating task and I get flustered. It's worse if that happens after paying for something too! So, I wanted to ensure that you have the opportunity to test this new Google Slides update free before deciding whether it is a distance learning solution for you and your class. 

Important: You will need to make a copy of the Google Slides to your drive before being able to edit the text boxes I've added to the worksheets.

Within each grade edition download (K - 6th Grades), you will find a Word Document option labeled 'Google Doc' (see sample image below)- the link to the slides can be found within that file.

These same free math mystery packets can be found on my TpT store too. â€‹
You will need to make a copy of the slides before being able to edit or share with your class via Google Classroom.  

If assigning to your students, you will need to make a copy for each student to complete. Otherwise changes to the 'Master File' will change how everyone accessing the link sees it. So please be sure to take this vital step of making a copy first (that is also why when you first see the slides it appears to be 'view only' - that's because you are viewing my master file and you need to make a copy to your drive to edit the text boxes I've placed on the worksheets. â€‹
GOOGLE SLIDES TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS & FAQS
There are a few things to look out for and check if you experience troubles with accessing these new Google Slide updates. 

To begin with, when you first open the link it will be set as 'View Only' - this is to stop changes happening to my Master file that I share with everyone. However, I have enabled the ability to 'Make a copy' of the slides to your drive. After making a copy, you should be able to complete the Math Mystery worksheets without having to print. 

To Make a Copy of the Google Slides, go to 'FILE', then select 'Make a Copy from the drop-down list. Then, save to your drive. 
Picture
After making a copy to your drive, you can change the title at the top (see in image below where it says 'Copy of Google Doc_Super Bad Superhero_G2).

​The text boxes I've added to the worksheet pages will allow entry of math answers and letter boxes to complete the activity without having to print! This is also ideal if you are working towards setting up a paperless classroom. 
Picture
I've also added a link to the pages to help students quickly return to the possible suspect pages. 

The rows on the Possible suspects page can be deleted as students eliminate characters.
Assigning to Students Via Google Classroom
You will need to make a copy of the file for each student to complete. See Google Classroom 'Teacher creates an assignment' advice note below:

If you continue to experience technical difficulties with using Google Slides, please visit this >> Google Support page << for further troubleshooting tips and advice. Sometimes it might be something as simple as refreshing your page, clearing your Internet browsing history and cookies, or checking that you don't have a blocker turned on that could be preventing you from accessing the file. 
I hope that these Google Slide updates will help with the new distance learning situations. I also hope that it will enable your students to easily complete math mysteries and reading mysteries at home without having to print.  I'm currently in lock down too and I've ran out of printer ink - yikes!  So having a digital option will help if any families find themselves in that  similar situation!  

Wishing you all safety and health during these unsettling times.
