How long will this activity take?
The time to complete will vary anywhere between 30mins - 2 hours! It mainly depends on how familiar your students are with the math mystery format and how difficult they find math skills covered in the particular mystery. Please check the math skills outlined in the clues above to help determine suitability for your class. I recommend pacing this activity by giving students one clue at a time. Once the whole class has completed a clue, move on to the next clue within the same lesson or the next math session. New math content presented? Make a lesson out of it by modeling the math before diving into the clue. I like to say, "We must learn something new before attempting the next clue." There are lots of ways to implement this activity in your classroom; learn more in the blog post link below:
Read Blog Post: Five Easy Ways to use Math Mysteries in your Classroom.


Great for review, math centers, extra practice, enrichment, homework, the sub tub, or early finishers.


⭐Differentiation Tip: Clue swap across grade levels to adjust the mystery with skills to suit student needs. As long as the clue number being swapped is the same, the mystery will work the same.
​

There's an optional video hook that you can use to set the stage to engage!
​Multiple Uses
- Suitable for independent, pairs, or group work.
- Use as part of your math centers, add to your sub tubs, make it part of your early finisher tasks, give for homework, or make it part of your classroom practice/review sessions.
