My Project

Can they solve the mystery of who did it? They will work as partners to solve several different math related problems to answer the ancient mystery of who did it.

This detective class transformation is sure to spark my students imaginations.

My students will get to look the part with detective hats, fake mustaches, magnifying glasses, and a notebook to write down all the clues. Add in a few lock boxes and my students minds will be blown. They won't even realize just how much math they are doing, which will blow my mind. I love transformations because it such a good way to pack a lot of review in a little bit of time. The kids enjoy the activities and I love the learning that happens. This is one adventure that will surely create a lifetime memory.
