4th Grade Thanksgiving Math Mystery - Math Word Problems

Description

This is a fun way for 4th graders to practice solving word problems in a unique way. Kids start reading at the beginning of the book, solve the problems, and go where the book tells them to go! If they get the wrong answer, they will have a 'stopper' that will tell them to go back to where they were working, and TRY AGAIN!

This mystery includes these skills:

elapsed time to the nearest minute
factors of numbers
multiplication facts
division of extended facts
area

There are a total of 5 word problems included in this mini math mystery.

I use these mysteries at my math stations during guided math. I am sure your kids will love this Thanksgiving themed math mystery book as much as mine do! What the next mystery will bring?

Thanks!

This activity was just right for my struggling students. I had 3 different mysteries going on in the room at one time. It was great that I was able to find one for my students that struggle to read and with many math concepts. They didn't feel like they were doing anything different than the high group.
