Description

End of Year Math Mystery Activity – The Case of The Graduation Gremlins - 7th Grade Edition. This fun End of Year activity engages and motivates your students during math time! Students have to use their math skills to eliminate places to find out where the Graduation Gremlins are hiding!

Easy prep! Just Print & Solve! Or go paperless with the new Google Slides option provided within your download.

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

Optional video hook included for introducing the case! (Check it out in the preview section)

BONUS: Ending video added to wrap up the case!

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

Preparation

- Print the student pages, staple or place them in a folder, and your students are set to go.

- Have the video hook ready for viewing at the start of the lesson on an IWB, iPad, or computer monitor screen.

- Digital option: Make digital copies of the Google Slides before assigning to Google Classroom

- Editable suspects list included: This enables you to change the suspect names and alter the mystery outcome. Two alternative pre-made lists are also included for a quick swap out.


MATH SKILLS COVERED

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

  • Clue 1: Integers with Order of Operations
  • Clue 2: Pythagorean Theorem (Find the Hypotenuse side length of right-angled triangles)
  • Clue 3: Calculate the percent of a number (answers include decimals up to hundredths)
  • Clue 4: Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms, Cubes, and Triangular Prisms (Customary unit and Metric Unit Pages provided - choose either page 9 or 10 only for this clue).
  • Clue 5: Two-Step Equations

Also included:

  • Printable awards
  • Answer key
  • Editable hideouts list

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 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 lots of ways to implement this activity in your classroom. Learn more in the blog post link below:
