Description

Find the digital version HERE. This math mystery is a fun way for 3rd graders to solve word problems in a unique way. Kids start reading at the beginning of the book, solve the problems, and go where the book tells them to go! A wrong answer will send them to a 'stopper' that will tell them to go back to where they were working, and TRY AGAIN!

This mystery includes these skills:

*telling time/elapsed time with am and pm

*expanded form from word form

*measurement with conversions (feet and yards)

*division

*multiplication and addition (2 step problems)

*patterns in numbers

*measurement to 1/4-not starting at 0

*graphing with one object representing 3

*money

*multi-step problems with numbers and number words

There are a total of 10 word problems included in this story.

I use these mysteries at my math stations during guided math. Some of my friends let the kids take them home to work with their families.

I am sure your kids will love this Valentine-themed math mystery book as much as mine do! What will the next mystery bring?

Thanks!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units-whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
