{"product_id":"numerical-patterns-and-ordered-pairs-mystery-detective","title":"Numerical Patterns and Ordered Pairs | Mystery Detective Worksheets | Grades 4–6","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese number patterns and ordered pairs worksheets give your 5th grade class ten CSI Mini Mystery Detective math cases on numerical patterns, graphing ordered pairs and the coordinate plane. The treasure map theme fits any time of year, and it's 5.OA.B.3 practice you can use from the first patterns lesson right through to test prep. Put them in your math centers, use them for morning work or homework, or keep a stack for early finishers. They're no prep, and every case comes with an answer key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery pair of rules sits right next to a small graph, so kids see each pattern twice: once as a list of numbers and once as points on the coordinate plane. Each answer matches a suspect's badge, and students cross that suspect off as they go. If their answers are right, only one suspect is left at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 one-page cases with 20 questions each, plus an answer key for every case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo evidence boards on each page.
