Distance Learning Update: I've added a Word Document in the folder containing a Google Slides link to share this resource with your students via Google Classroom or Drive. Parts of the pages are editable, so your students can complete them without printing the pages. Please note you will need to make a copy of the Google Slides to your drive before you can edit.-

Students must use their math skills to unlock clues. Then, use their powers of deduction to narrow down where and when in time Trolgar, the troll is with Grumpy's time machine.

Preparation

- EASY prep! Print the student pages, staple or place

them in a folder, and your students are set to go.

- Have the video hook ready for viewing at the start of the

lesson on an IWB, iPad, or computer monitor screen.

Math Skills Required to Unlock Clues

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

• Clue 1: Match Analog to Digital Clocks (O'Clock only)
• Clue 2: Read Clocks & Write Times (O'Clock only)
• Clue 3: Read Clocks & Write Times (O'Clock only)
• Clue 4: Read Clocks & Write Times (Half-Past Only)
• Clue 5: Read Clocks & Write Times (O'Clock and Half-Past mixed)

Students must use critical thinking skills to determine 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.
