⭐MATH SKILLS⭐
There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:
- Clue 1: Perimeter of basic and complex shapes (with decimals and missing information to solve using knowledge of shapes.)
- Clue 2: Perimeter (Floor Plan style, with decimals, missing information to solve)
- Clue 3: Perimeter Word Problems (with decimals)
- Clue 4: Perimeter - Find the Missing Side (with decimals)
- Clue 5: Use Perimeter to Determine Cost (prices are with decimals per unit to work within these problems. Multiplying decimals by wholes and decimals by decimals required.)
The pack includes a mystery declaration sheet, answer sheets, an elimination guide, an editable list, and awards.
How long will this activity take?
The time to complete will vary anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours! 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 recommend pacing this activity by giving students one clue at a time. Once the whole class has completed a clue, move on to the next clue 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:
