Mini Mysteries
Mystery Detective worksheets that mark themselves. In every Kiwiland Mystery Detective pack a case has to be solved, and the only way through it is the math: students work a page of problems, match each answer to a suspect, and cross suspects off until one is left. A wrong answer matches nobody, so students spot it and go back on their own. That is why teachers reach for these for sub plans, math centers, early finishers, homework and test prep. Nothing to mark, nothing to explain twice.
