⭐Math Skills Involved⭐

Students must use critical thinking skills to figure out what the clue is telling them to eliminate from the list of possibilities. There are five clues to solve the mystery:

• Clue 1: Mixed Multiplication Facts (1-12)
• Clue 2: Multiplying 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers
• Clue 3: Multiply numbers ending in zeroes
• Clue 4: Multiplication Word Problems (mix of 1-digit to 3-digit numbers; some 2-digit by 2-digit required)
• Clue 5: Multiplying with larger numbers (mix of 3-digit by 1-digit, 2-digit by 2-digit, and 4-digit by 1-digit numbers)

⭐Preparation⭐

• Printable PDF: Easy Prep! Print the student pages, staple or place in a folder, and your students are ready to start.
• Digital Google Slides: A ready-to-go paperless option. Students simply type their answers into the designated text boxes. (Note: Ensure students use ‘edit’ mode to enter answers, not slideshow mode).

Teacher Suggestion: 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! Time to complete this math activity will vary anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on your students’ familiarity with the format.
