Description
100th Day of School Math Mystery Activity - 5th Grade Math Worksheets Edition
The Case of the 100 Missing Treats. A fun way to practice and review math skills during the 100th Day of School. Easy prep! Just Print & Solve! Or go paperless with the new Google Slides option provided within your download.
⭐A video hook is provided to set the stage to engage! Check out the video hook in the preview section.
⭐A bonus ENDING VIDEO clip is included to celebrate finishing the mystery.
(Please note: The videos now come with voiceovers to read the story).
Students must use their math skills to unlock clues. Then, they must use their powers of deduction to narrow down the suspects to find who stole 100 treats from the school party hall!
Implementation 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⭐Math Skills Required to Unlock Clues⭐
There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:
- Clue 1: Addition and Subtraction Equations (Solve for x)
- Clue 2: Multiplying Decimals by 10 and 100
- Clue 3: Convert Fractions & Decimals to Percents (Fractions with a denominator of 100 only)
- Clue 4: Coordinates (One/Positive Quadrant)
- Clue 5: Divide Decimals and Whole Numbers by 10 and 100
Students must use critical thinking skills to figure out what the clue is telling them to eliminate from the list of possibilities. Ensure students read and comprehend clues carefully!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
