Description
Percents Math Mystery Activity - 7th Grade Edition Math Worksheets -
The Case of the Pickpocketing Pirate. Useful as a fun way to practice and review percent skills during or at the end of a unit. Ideal for test prep, early finishers, and homework too!
Students must use their math skills to unlock clues. Then, use their powers of deduction to narrow down the suspects to find who is the Pickpocketing Pirate.
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!
Suggestion: Pace the clues one by one to keep the class at the same point. If using the clues in a different order, keep the suspect list away from students until all five clues are completed and discovered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⭐Math Skills Required to Unlock Clues⭐
There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:
- Clue 1: Percents of Money Amounts (Answers are with decimals to hundredths)
- Clue 2: Convert Decimals and Fractions to a Percent (Answers sometimes will be with decimals to the tenths)
- Clue 3: Calculating Sale Prices (Working with decimals to hundredths, any percent )
- Clue 4: Percent Word Problems (Some answers with decimals)
- Clue 5: Sale Prices - Finding the Original Price (Working with decimals and answers with decimals to the hundredths)
Students must use critical thinking skills to figure out what the clue is telling them to eliminate from the list of possibilities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
