Suggestion: Pace the clues one by one to keep the class at the same point. If using the clues in a different order, keep the suspect list away from students until all five clues are completed and discovered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional VIDEO HOOK available to use to introduce students to this math mystery activity. Check it out in my video library.

>>NEW<< - Optional ENDING Video Clip: For this particular paper math mystery I've included a short video that you can use at the end of the mystery to wrap up the activity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparation
- Print the student pages, staple or place in a folder, and your students are set to go.
- Have the video hook ready for viewing at the start of the lesson on an IWB, iPad or computer monitor screen.
- Or open the Google Slides link, make digital copies for your students and assign via Google Classroom.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Math Skills Required to Unlock Clues

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:
  • Clue 1: Adding triple-digit numbers (with regrouping)
  • Clue 2: Rounding Numbers to the nearest ten & hundred
  • Clue 3: Mix of Multiplication Facts (1-12)
  • Clue 4: Subtracting triple-digit numbers (with regrouping)
  • Clue 5: Ordering numbers up to 1,000


Students must use critical thinking skills to figure out what the clue is telling them to eliminate from the list of possibilities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 either 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."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


How long will this activity take?
Time to complete will vary anywhere between 30mins - 2 hours or more! It mainly depends on how familiar your students are with the math mystery format, as well as 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.
