This kit offers three ways to use this activity.
Use as a Scavenger Hunt: The download includes 23 full-color cards or 23 black-and-white 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.
Use as a a Digital Activity: The download includes a link to a digital activity in Google Slides.
In all of the versions, the activities contains 20 questions, 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!
