What educators are saying

My student loved this. He would guess who the criminal was and had fun finding out if he was correct or not. Was a good assessment for me to check what was remembered from the year before. A fun way to start the year.
My students absolutely LOVE all of your mini math mysteries! Thanks for making a fun game to make practicing math fun!

Description

What are Mini-Math Mysteries?

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 use 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!
