Math Mystery

A colleague shared this free resource with me and I used it on the last day before the Christmas break. The work that was going on in the room for more than an hour was mind boggling! (Thanks for sharing Jennifer Workman!)
Students must solve math questions for clues to figure out who the super bad superhero is.

This resource is available in a variety of grade levels so you can differentiate for your class.

Check out these - especially if you are teaching fractions in grades 6 & 7. I can see so many rich conversations happening during these lessons.

Don't forget to watch Steve's video - he does a great job of explaining how to use the splats.
