Description

This Valentine's Day Math Activity Packet (3rd Grade Edition) contains TEN fun Mini-Math Mysteries in printable and digital worksheet formats! This packet is ideal for 3rd Grade or any class working with the math skills and content listed below. It is also distance learning-friendly with a digital option for the worksheets on Google Slides provided.

What are Mini-Math Mysteries?

Mini-Math Mysteries are a fun game-like one-page activity to practice math skills. They are a condensed version of a mystery and follow a simple elimination structure where students will use their answers to eliminate possibilities. The mystery story is short (a couple of sentences to a paragraph), and unlike my regular mysteries, there are no clue messages or video hooks for these. I've designed these for educators who want something quick and short to assign to students while still keeping it fun!
