Description

End of Year Math Mystery Activity – The Case of The Graduation Gremlins - 2nd Grade Edition. This fun End of Year activity engages and motivates your students during math time! Student detectives must use their math skills to eliminate places to find out where the Graduation Gremlins are hiding!


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, copy, and staple the pages together or place them in a folder.

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

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

MATH SKILLS COVERED

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

  • Clue 1: Addition & Subtraction algorithms (2-digit numbers, with regrouping)
  • Clue 2: Identify the shape being described (2D and 3D)
  • Clue 3: Place Value (3-digit numbers)
  • Clue 4: Counting Patterns
  • Clue 5: Making 100 (fill in the missing number, addition, and subtraction)

Also included:

  • Printable awards
  • Answer key
  • Editable hideout list

Great End of Year math activity.

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:
