What educators are saying

I love the concept of the mini unit math mystery. I used this as a center activity and the students enjoyed each mystery.
Oh my goodness! The kids loved this mystery. We worked on a few problems together but they were able to solve it independently after my quick help/review. I will be using this again next year.

Description

This 4th Grade Thanksgiving Math Packet contains TEN fun Mini-Math Mysteries in printable and digital formats! This packet is ideal for 4th Grade or any class working with the math skills and content listed below. It is also distance learning-friendly, with a digital option for the worksheets on Google Slides and Easel.

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!
