1st Grade Fall Packet of Mini Math Mysteries (Printable & Digital Worksheets)
This Fall (Autumn) Math Packet contains TEN fun Mini-Math Mysteries in both printable and digital formats! This packet is ideal for 1st Grade or any class working with the math skills and content listed below. It is also distance learning-friendly with a digital option of the worksheets on Google Slides provided.
Mini-Math Mysteries are a fun 'game-like' one-page activity to practice math skills. They are a condensed version of a mystery and follow a simple elimination structure where students will be using their answers to eliminate 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've designed these for educators who want something quick and short to assign to students while still keeping it fun!
