Description
Send your students on an epic Math Quest with this fun story “Over the Rainbow.” Even though it has a St. Patrick's Day theme, it still can be used at the end of the year as a fun review activity.
Easy prep! Just Print & Solve! Or go paperless with the new Google Docs option provided within your download.
NEW - Distance Learning Update: I've added a Word Document within the folder that contains a Google Doc link to share this resource with your students via Google Classroom or Drive. Parts of the pages are editable so that your students can complete without having to print the pages. Please note, you will need to make a copy of the Google Slides to your drive before you can edit.
A fun 'print and go' activity to get some extra math practice in this is great to use as an essential review, enrichment activity or for your early finishers. With seven exciting chapters to work through, students can end up with one of four possible endings as they try to help Leroy McClumsy get his pot of gold back from the giant.
This is the differentiated bundle packet, which means you will receive the same quest in easy, medium and hard modes..
BONUS (Optional) Video of the introduction part of the story also included in this packet. A written story is also included in the PDF product download.
(PLEASE NOTE: There are some variations between the video story and the written story. Choose your preference OR you could even do a compare/contrast literacy activity between the two versions.
What is a Math Quest?
It begins with a story, as in the video hook. Then continues in 'chapters.' Each chapter reveals the next part of the story, posing a math task to complete. Once the math task is complete, students may progress to the next chapter. The final chapter will present some choices for actions to take in the story. Students make their choice and then complete the math in that section, carrying out instructions to receive a 'special number.' If they do the math correctly, the special number will match up to their ending of the story on the final page. Four alternate endings to receive!
Great to use for enrichment, early finishers, or a way to get lots of math practice in with a fun twist. Set as independent work or pairs to go on this story adventure.

Preparation & Set-Up
You will need to print, photocopy and have the video ready for viewing to complete this activity. The video hook is for (optional) viewing before starting the paper part of this task. The math component of this activity is on paper, with each chapter presenting a part of the story to read and a math task/challenge or puzzle to 'progress' through the story. At the end of the story, choices are presented, which leads to one of four alternative endings for them.
Certificates Included!
Printable certificates provided to give to students who complete the Math Quest.
DIFFERENTIATED LEVEL PACKET
There are three levels of difficulty (EASY, MEDIUM, HARD) available for this Math Quest. You are currently viewing the DIFFERENTIATED BUNDLE, which provides all three levels in this purchase. You can purchase the other levels separately if you wish.
As long as the chapter number is the same, you can swap chapters across difficulty levels to tailor this math quest to best suit your class and individual student needs. Levels are symbol coded at the top of each page to keep difficulty levels a secret from your students.
