Students will receive riddles after they complete each math task, each focused on a different component of K, 1, or 2nd graphing standards. Three levels of difficulty are included for each math task.
The Grocery Store Goof Up
In this mystery, students will read a letter from Macy where she explains that she left her grocery list at home. Instead of going home, she's hoping they remember everything on the list so they can bake cookies when they get home. This mystery includes a grocery list of ingredients that they remembered. Macy needs the help of your students because she's still missing something from her list. Students will complete challenges to earn clues to help Macy!
