Description

Easter Math Mystery Activity to keep your students engaged and learning around the holiday! The 'Case of the Rotten Eggs' (2nd Grade Edition) will add an exciting twist to your math sessions. Easy prep! Just Print & Solve! New Google Slides are available to complete the worksheets in a digital format.

⭐Optional video hook included for introducing the case! (Check it out in the preview section)

⭐BONUS: Ending video added to wrap up the case!

Update: >>The Videos now have voiceovers<<

⭐Easy Prep!⭐

  • PDF printable version - print and copy the worksheets, and your student detectives are ready to solve!
  • Google Slides Digital version - Find the link in the Teacher Instructions section to open the worksheets digitally in Google Slides. Please make a copy for your students and assign it. Students must be in 'edit' mode to enter answers.

Students must use their math and critical thinking skills to eliminate hideouts and discover WHERE Slimewort hides!

⭐Math Skills Required to Unlock Clues ⭐

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

  • Clue 1: Time (o'clock, half-past, quarter-past, quarter-to)
  • Clue 2: Making 50 (addition and subtraction) Fill in the missing number
  • Clue 3: Fractions (write the fraction to show the shaded area)
  • Clue 4: Balancing addition equations (1-digit and 2-digit numbers)
  • Clue 5: Adding four 1-digit numbers

Students must use critical thinking skills to determine which clues tell them to eliminate from the list of possible hideouts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


⭐Multiple Uses⭐

Great for:

  • Review
  • Consolidation
  • Math Centers
  • Extra Practice
  • Enrichment
  • Early Finishers
  • Homework
  • Substitute Teachers

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How long will this activity take?

The time to complete will vary anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours! It mainly depends on how familiar your students are with the math mystery format and how difficult they find math skills covered in the particular mystery. Please check the math skills outlined in the clues above to help determine suitability for your class. I recommend pacing this activity by giving students one clue at a time. Once the whole class has completed a clue, move on to the next clue within the same lesson or the next math session. New math content presented? Make a lesson out of it by modeling the math before diving into the clue. I like to say, "We must learn something new before attempting the next clue." There are lots of ways to implement this activity in your classroom; learn more in the blog post link below:
