These math mysteries are designed for third, fourth, and fifth grade students. Could also be used with struggling sixth-grade students that need a little extra work and reinforcement in algebra (or advanced, gifted and talented second grade). I also leave some of the mysteries for my sub-teacher.

Math Mysteries are an independent escape room (or crack the code) type of activity where instead of using locks, students identify suspects with puzzles and word problems. This mystery is perfect all year round and is a low prep no-fuss activity.
