Description

Is your class ready to solve a mathematical murder mystery?

This is a fun and exciting way to review the topics covered by the Grade 6 Common Core maths standards at the end of the year - or an exciting way to start Grade 7 by reviewing the previous year's work.

Your students will be presented with a story set up, suspect profiles and 5 mathematical clues covering different topics learnt throughout the year. It's their job to use their mathematical problem solving skills and work as a team to narrow down the suspects and find the culprit!

Download includes:

- 5 Mathematical clues covering standards from all 5 Common Core State Standards (CCSS) topics learnt in Grade 6 (Ratios and Proportional Relationships, The Number System, Expressions and Equations, Geometry, Statistics and Probability)

- Story outline page and Suspect profiles

- Complementary PowerPoint Slide Show to set the scene at the beginning and to reveal the solution at the end

- Set up instructions

- Answer key with solutions for each clue

Certain to create a fun, unique and engaging lesson!

Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas 𝘝 = 𝘭 𝘸 𝘩 and 𝘝 = 𝘣 𝘩 to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, β€œHow old am I?” is not a statistical question, but β€œHow old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.
