What educators are saying

These Math Mysteries are always so engaging! Kids love them and they are so easy for teachers to use - or even better, leave for a sub!
My students enjoy using these for review and enrichment. They even become a "beat the teacher" competition as they work through some of the clues. Very engaging and very useful.

MATH SKILLS

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

  • Clue 1: Identifying 2D Shapes
  • Clue 2: Properties of Shapes with Visuals (Count Edges, Vertices, and Faces)
  • Clue 3: Area of rectangles with square tiles
  • Clue 4: Identifying 2D and 3D Shapes
  • Clue 5: More practice with Identifying 2D and 3D Shapes

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 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 highly 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." There are many 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.
