This math scavenger hunt activity is great for days when your students are already "checked-out", but learning still needs to happen. NO PREP!

Your students will love the fun approach to learning around the Thanksgiving holidays, and you will enjoy the EASE OF PLANNING at this hectic time of year! Simply print and post or assign the fun digital scavenger hunt!

Students start at a poster/slide that you assign or at a random poster. They read and solve the problem on that poster. Then they look for that answer on all the other posters. They move to their answer and complete the new problem on that poster. Students continue this process until all 14 problems are complete.

As they work through the word problems, students will be able to “catch” their mistakes as there are only posters/slides with correct answers.

All questions are multi-step to give students extra practice with the dreaded…word problem. A blackline version is included!

⭐ If you need something at your fingertips to keep your students engaged, thinking, reasoning, and solving problems right up to Thanksgiving break . . . this is it! :)

❤️What you will receive in the zip file:

  • A printable version in color will save you hours – just print, laminate, or use sheet protectors and use year after year.
  • A blackline print version to save on color printing.
  • An Answer Key.
  • A student recording sheet
  • A PDF with a link to the digital version. There are step-by-step student directions with photos included.
