Description

Easter Math Mystery "Case of The Egg Thief." GRADE 1. EASY PREP, just print and go! Or now available with Google Docs for a paper-free option.

Students will need to answer a variety of math problems that will help them solve who the Egg Thief is! Engage and motivate your students with this unique and fun way to review their math skills.

A video hook sets the stage for engagement! Check out the video hook in the preview section.

A bonus ENDING VIDEO clip is included to celebrate finishing the mystery.

(Please note: The videos now come with voiceovers to read the story).


Math Skills included in this Math Mystery

  • Clue 1: Place Value Models (up to 20)
  • Clue 2: Reading Numbers Written in Words (up to 20)
  • Clue 3: Adding Numbers (up to 20)
  • Clue 4: Time (O'Clock only)
  • Clue 5: Adding Ten


How long will this activity take?

The 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, as well as 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 highly 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." There are lots of ways to implement this activity in your classroom, learn more in the blog post link below:

I cannot say enough good things about these math mysteries! I have used them across different strands of maths and in different year groups and they are always a hit! They love the opening and closing videos and I love the reading component too. Always will recommend!

My class goes bonkers for these mysteries. I wish I had purchased the full bundle! They were already asking if there was one for Mother's Day! I told them maybe they could create their own mystery using what they have learned from these. They think we should do them for every holiday! This one was a great review and practice for the kids. They were so proud of how quickly they could do the math this time! I really love that they get to develop their reasoning skills too. They are learning to think and having so much fun doing it all. Thank you for these!
