Description

Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to practice early number concepts this winter? This easy-prep Winter Mini Math Mysteries Kindergarten packet is the perfect solution! This bundle contains TEN fun, seasonal math mysteries that combine a quick puzzle with crucial early math practice, packing high-quality math worksheets with standards-based math skills.

⭐ What are Mini-Math Mysteries?

Mini-Math Mysteries are a fun, game-like, one-page activity for practicing math skills. They are a condensed version of a full math mystery and follow a simple elimination structure, where students use the answers on their math worksheets to cross off 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 have designed these specifically for educators who want a quick, short math review to assign to students while keeping it incredibly fun!

⭐ Math Skills Required to Solve the Cases

Each of the ten one-page math mystery worksheets will focus on one or two of the following targeted Kindergarten math skills:

• Counting Objects to 15 and 20
• Missing Numbers in sequences from 1-15
• Comparing two numbers (which is larger/smaller) – Numbers are less than 15
• Numbers written in words (zero – ten)
• How many more to make ten? (Using Ten Frames)
• Addition to ten with pictures
• Write the number that comes in between two numbers (e.g., 6 ___ 8)
