Description

This math mystery, “The Case of the Super Bad Superhero,” - 1st Grade Edition, is a great way to add some excitement and fun to your math lessons! Students will work through various math questions to discover which superhero has gone bad!

Easy prep! Just Print & Solve! Or go paperless with the new Google Docs 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!

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

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

NOTE: Sometimes, the clues are challenging and require logical thinking to eliminate suspects. For example, Clue #3 is telling students what to KEEP on the list rather than what to cross off the list. Encourage your kids to read the information closely and think about what it means for the elimination process like real detectives. For more logical thinking practice, visit HERE to find some single page logic puzzles that you can download for free.

Math Skills Required to Unlock Clues

In this Grade 1 version, the five clues cover the following skills:

  • Clue 1: Counting (1-30)
  • Clue 2: Adding Numbers (0-12)
  • Clue 3: Subtracting Numbers (0-12)
  • Clue 4: Ordering Numbers (1-25)
  • Clue 5: Comparing Numbers (up to 30)

PLEASE NOTE: The clues must be completed in the ORDER 1-5 that I have put them in.

Pack also provides teacher instructions, the story, answer sheets, an elimination guide, and printable awards.

MIX & MATCH ACROSS GRADE LEVELS TO DIFFERENTIATE/CUSTOMIZE

You can choose a grade level that suits your class best and/or mix and match across the same clue numbers (except for the Grade 1 Version) to differentiate and customize the math mystery for your students. The Grade 1 version is simplified as a whole and cannot be mixed with the rest. (For example, swap clue 1 from the Grade 2 version to clue 1 from the Grade 3 version to make that part more challenging for some students.)

This Math Mystery is available for Grades 1-6:

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:
