4th Grade Math Project! Fourth Grade Math and Fourth Grade Reading! Cross-curricular project-based learning! Fourth grade math problem solving! Engaging math story problem project! Printable & Digital version included! Google Slides versions included!
This math-story problem project is an awesome way to keep your students engaged in math problem-solving! Students will be intrinsically motivated to solve the mystery and along the way they will be engaged in solving math problems! This project is differentiated with two different levels includes to support students at different levels of problem-solving. This mystery focuses on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (as well as measurement conversion) at the fourth-grade level.
It also includes a printable version and a digital version (Google Slides links included). It is also self-checking, so students will have feedback right away at the end of the project to see if they are correct because if they are incorrect their answer won’t be one of the suspect choices.
This project includes 14 pages per level of engaging math story problems! Embedded in the story problems are reading passages at an approximate 810-1000 Lexile level so they are great for fourth grade readers!
Look for the level key on the bottom right side of each page to ensure that students are working on the correct level. Both levels of this project are aligned to standards 4.NBT.B.4, 4.NBT.B.5, 4.NBT.B.6, 4.OA.A.2, 4.OA.A.3 and 4.MD.A.2. The project is also aligned to ELA standardsCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.4.1 and ELA-LITERACY.4.10. The levels include the following types of problems:
- Level 1: multiplication and division of up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, or 2-digit by 2-digit factors. Multiplicative compare included. Addition and subtraction within 1,000,000 with mostly single-step, single-operation story problems. Some multi-step problems included. Single-step measurement conversions.
- Level 2: more challenging multiplication and division with mixed story problem structures and unknown in different places. Two-step and multi-step story problems with multiplicative compare and multiple operations included with more complex addition and subtraction. Multi-step measurement conversions.
How does it work?
- Students are presented with a mystery situation, and the possible suspects for who committed the “crime.”
- Students read the alibi statements for each character and solve the related math problem(s) on each page.
- Students use the additional details, clues, detective conversations and information to determine who is guilty of the crime.
- Students determine who they think is guilty. Then they solve the final problem to see if they are correct. In order for this to work, they must solve every problem correctly. If they find that the final problem is unsolvable, or their answer is not a possible option, then they need to go back and check their work!
*The Parade Predicament: Everyone was excited for the annual parade in Oak Heights! The student council had their float ready and full of balloons, and the marching band was energized and ready to go! But when everyone arrived at the parade in the morning, they noticed that all the parade balloons had been popped! Who would do such a thing? Solve the mystery to find out!
"Where were you at the time of the crime?
It couldn’t be you, so tell us why!
We hope you have a good alibi! "
The project opens as a ZIP file which includes:
- PDF versions of each level of the project
- Power Point versions of each level of the project (with easy-to-use "enter text here" boxes for easy online submission). Compatible with Google Drive/Google Classroom. Now including direct links to Google Slides versions of the project!
- Directions for Digital Use
- Answer keys for every page!
I hope you enjoy this engaging math mystery project!
