What educators are saying

Great first activity to get my students working together at the start of the school year. I have many of these Math Mysteries, and they are great to pull out and change up the normal daily lessons. Thanks for creating these!!

Rated 5 out of 5

My students were eager to complete this math mystery when I was out one day at the end of the year. A great way to see how well some skills stuck with the students.

Back to School Math Mystery Activity - 7th Grade Edition Math Worksheets

The Case of the Cursed Classrooms. Useful as a fun way to practice and review math skills early in the school year.

Students must use their math skills to unlock clues. Then, use their powers of deduction to narrow down the suspects to find who cursed the classrooms!

Easy prep!
