Description

Are you looking for fun zombie math activities? These engaging 3-digit by 1-digit multiplication math mystery detective worksheets are the perfect way to practice three-digit multiplication. Can be used all year round, but best when you want to celebrate with your students at the end of the year, Halloween, and for back-to-school math activities.

Mini Math Mysteries are designed to be done in one class period. There are 5x Math Mysteries in this pack. At the top of each page is a story to set the scene of the mystery, students then answer 16 questions to narrow down the suspects and options until they have solved these daily math questions.

These three-by-one-digit times tables worksheets provide an opportunity to practice math skills as well as problem-solving skills in a more practical context. The high-interest topics in these mysteries are also highly motivating for this age group and will capture their imagination.

These math mysteries are designed for third, fourth, and fifth grade students. Could also be used with struggling sixth-grade students that need a little extra work and reinforcement in multiplying by algorithms (Or advanced second-grade). I also leave some of the mysteries for my sub-teacher.

Math Mysteries are an independent escape room (or crack the code) type of activity where instead of using locks, students identify suspects with puzzles, word problems, and games. This mystery is perfect all year round, Halloween, Easter, Christmas, the start of school, the end of year, and any season. (fall, spring, summer, and winter), Thanksgiving, or Veterans day.

The Mini-mysteries are a life saver! Love, LOVE them! It is so easy to encourage kids to finish a whole page because they want to find out who/what/where/when the mystery happened. Sometimes, in small group interventions, I assign 1 line of questions per student. Then pairs check each other with calculators and we "Jig-Saw" the answers together to complete the page and solve the mystery.
