Math Skills Required to Unlock Clues

Students must use their math skills to unlock clues. Then, use their powers of deduction to narrow down the list of locations to find the treasure

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

  • Clue 1: Converting between Place Values (Whole Numbers)
  • Clue 2: Value of the Underlined Digit (Including Decimals to the tenths and hundredths)
  • Clue 3: Comparing Decimals
  • Clue 4: Converting Decimals from Expanded Form to Standard Form (using fractions)
  • Clue 5: Rounding Decimals (whole, tenths, hundredths)

Students must use critical thinking skills to determine what the clue tells them to eliminate from the list of possibilities.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).
Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.
