This kit offers three ways to use this activity.
Use as a Scavenger Hunt: The download includes 23 full-color cards for you to print and hang around your room for a class activity. As students solve the equations, they look around the room for their answer to see what clue they should eliminate.
Use as an Individual Activity: The download also includes a version that has all of the necessary clue information so students can complete this activity outside of the classroom. This is perfect for students who were absent during the scavenger hunt!
Use as a Digital Activity: The download includes a link to the drag-and-drop activity in Google Sheets. Perfect for distance learning or if you want to include a digital activity in your week.
In all three versions, the activity consists of 20 systems of linear equations, and each answer is associated with either a suspect, a weapon or a location. When a student gets the answer, that option is eliminated from the mystery. When they are finished, students will only have one suspect, one weapon and location left, and they will have solved the mystery!
