I have been teaching middle school math for 18 years. I taught many years using Engage NY, so the rigor is very high and I would use lots of interactive notebook entries to help scaffold. When classroom teaching I specialized in interactive notebook entries to support learning, and fun ways for scholars to practice their skills. I am now a math interventionist and focus on creating work to target specific misconceptions and struggles, while keeping things fun.
Your purchase comes with 4 different sets of this mystery (problems and clues are the same, but the guilty party is different for each set). I use this for sub plans, each class gets their own mystery, so classes cannot spoil the answer for other classes. Each different mystery is labeled with our crew mascots (Greyhounds, Hoosiers, Knights, and Champions) so you can easily differentiate between the 4 different sets.

This document would also be great to introduce different uses for parentheses (do this first, multiply), and math vocabulary (double, triple, quadruple, sum, difference, product, quotient, expression, value of an express
