What educators are saying

Great resource to target a variety of skills. Used this in my special education classroom and it was highly engaging!

— Laura A.

Rated 5 out of 5

I used this as an extension activity for my students that are performing above grade level in math. It's awesome for them to work ahead and on an activity that can be fairly self led and independent while I work with the students that are struggling. Love math mysteries!

Distance Learning Update: I've added a Word Document in the folder containing a Google Slides link to share this resource with your students via Google Classroom or Drive. Parts of the pages are editable so that your students can complete them without having to print the pages. Please note you will need to make a copy of the Google Slides to your drive before you can edit.

An editable mystery list was added to the packet. This way, you can alter the mystery outcome. I've provided two pre-made alternative mystery lists that you can swap out with the original if you want a different answer.

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

Clue 1: Solve One-Step Equations

CCSS7.EE.A.1

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.

CCSS7.EE.B.4a

Solve word problems leading to equations of the form 𝘱𝘹 + 𝘲 = 𝘳 and 𝘱(𝘹 + 𝘲) = 𝘳, where 𝘱, 𝘲, and 𝘳 are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?

CCSS7.EE.B.4b

Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form 𝘱𝘹 + 𝘲 > 𝘳 or 𝘱𝘹 + 𝘲 < 𝘳, where 𝘱, 𝘲, and 𝘳 are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions.
