⭐MATH SKILLS COVERED:⭐
There are FIVE clues to crack to solve the case:
- Clue 1 - Area with Rectangles (Multiplying with numbers greater than 12 required in this version)
- Clue 2 - Area to determine the cost (Multiplying double digits by single/ double digits required in this version)
- Clue 3 - Area Missing Side Lengths (larger numbers than the 4th-grade version)
- Clue 4 - Area Word Problems (Multiplying with double digits and single digits)
- Clue 5 - Area of Complex Figures (two or three rectangles/squares together, larger numbers than the 4th-grade version)
PLEASE NOTE: This 5th-grade version is similar to the 4th-grade version of this math mystery. The main difference is that the numbers in this version make it more challenging when it comes to the calculation component.
>>> Customary and metric options are included in the download for choosing your measurement unit preference.

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 the 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.
