Description

Easter Math Mystery Activity to keep your students engaged and learning around the holiday! The 'Case of the Rotten Eggs' (5th Grade Edition) will add an exciting twist to your math sessions. Easy prep! Just Print & Solve! Or go paperless with the new Google Docs option provided within your download.


ā­Optional video hook included for introducing the case! (Check it out in the preview section)

ā­BONUS: Ending video added to wrap up the case!

Update: >>The Videos now have voiceovers<<


ā­Easy Prep!ā­

  • PDF printable version - print and copy the worksheets, and your student detectives are ready to solve!
  • Google Slides Digital version - Find the link in the Teacher Instructions section to open the worksheets digitally in Google Slides. Please make a copy for your students and assign it. Students must be in 'edit' mode to enter answers.


ā­Math Skills Required to Unlock Cluesā­

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

  • Clue 1: What is the value of the underlined digit? (5-7 Digit Numbers)
  • Clue 2: Multiply numbers ending in zeroes (2-4 Digit Numbers)
  • Clue 3: Converting Mixed Number Fractions to Improper Fractions
  • Clue 4: Solve Equations (with positive integers only)
  • Clue 5: Solving with Parenthesis (mixture of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division used throughout).

Students must use critical thinking skills to determine which of the possible hideouts to eliminate based on the clue.

>> The pack includes a mystery declaration sheet, answer sheets, an elimination guide, an editable suspect list, and printable awards.


How long will this activity take?

The time to complete will vary anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours! It mainly depends on how familiar your students are with the math mystery format and how difficult they find math skills covered in the particular mystery. Please check the math skills outlined in the clues above to help determine suitability for your class. I recommend pacing this activity by giving students one clue at a time. Once the whole class has completed a clue, move on to the next clue within the same lesson or the next math session. New math content presented? Make a lesson out of it by modeling the math before diving into the clue. I like to say, "We must learn something new before attempting the next clue." There are lots of ways to implement this activity in your classroom; learn more in the blog post link below:

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.
Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, š˜¢/š˜£ + š˜¤/š˜„ = (š˜¢š˜„ + š˜£š˜¤)/š˜£š˜„.)
