What is a Math Quest?

It begins with a story, as in the video hook. Then continues in 'chapters.' Each chapter reveals the next part of the story, posing a math task to complete. Once the math task is complete, students may progress to the next chapter. The final chapter will present some choices for actions to take in the story. Students make their choice and then complete the math in that section, carrying out instructions to receive a 'special number.' If they do the math correctly, the special number will match up to their ending of the story on the final page. Four alternate endings to receive!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do I use Math Quests for?

Math quests are great to use for enrichment, early finishers, homework, sub-tubs, or as a special way to get lots of math practice in with a fun twist. Set as independent work or pairs to go on this story adventure. This is an ideal activity to use in the lead up to Easter to keep your students engaged while actively learning.
