Welcome to Cookie Town, where the gingerbread houses are more than just sweet treats – they're masterpieces! Every year, families create incredible gingerbread houses for the big competition. Last time, we had a gingerbread White House! This year's batch is just as amazing, with houses made from real gingerbread, yummy icing, gumdrops, and sprinkles!

But hold on to your cookies—something's gone wrong! Several of these edible art pieces have vanished into thin air! Who could be so daring as to swipe them from right under our noses? It's time to put on your detective hats and get ready for a hilarious adventure filled with math challenges!

As you follow the clues, you'll tackle addition, subtraction, shapes, and even tell time to crack this sugary caper wide open. Can you uncover the gingerbread grabber's identity and save Cookie Town's sweetest secrets?

Suggestion: To ensure that the entire class stays on the same page, There are total 5 clues it is recommended to pace the clues one by one. If you choose to use the clues in a different order, it's important to keep the suspect list away from the students until all five clues have been completed and discovered. This way, everyone can have an equal opportunity to engage in the mystery-solving process without revealing any spoilers too early.

Preparation: No Prep required! simply print the student pages and either staple them together or place them in a folder. Your students will be ready to dive into the activity, making it a convenient and time-saving resource for seamless integration into your lessons.

Multiple Uses:

• Suitable for independent, pairs, or group work.
• Use as part of your math centers, add to your sub tubs, make it part of your early finisher tasks, give for homework, or make it part of your classroom practice/review sessions.

I 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.

How long will this activity take?

Time to complete will vary, ranging from approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours or more! The duration largely depends on your students' familiarity with the math mystery format and their level of comfort with the math skills addressed in the specific mystery
