Here's how it works: The first two puzzles in this collection each contain 12 equivalent fraction problems to solve; the second two puzzles let students practice comparing fractions. The correct answer for each math problem will allow the student to eliminate one or more "suspects" from the school-themed mysteries. Only when every math problem is answered correctly will the student be able to solve the mystery. It grades itself!
What you get: There is a total of 48 math problems. You get both color and black and white task cards for easy printing - 4 task cards per sheet, 12 task cards per puzzle. And because these math task cards adhere to Common Core standards, we print them on the footer of all pages so you can find them in a hurry. You also get recording sheets and answer keys.

- You can laminate them for use over and over.
