The Hidden Pot of Gold mystery sends 2nd grade and 3rd grade students inside a leprechaun's hideout, where every correct sum within 100 rules one suspect out of the line-up and the last name standing is the culprit. It is fun math practice with a reason to be accurate, timed for the week of the 17th. Students read a map through a letter key, add along a trail of gold pots, check worked answers for errors and color the right shamrock forward. Color and black-and-white pages plus answer keys, nothing to cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Case: The Hidden Pot of Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSt Patricks Day falls on the 17th of March, and the stories that come with it are older than anyone can trace. A leprechaun is a small, sharp, well-dressed fairy from Irish folklore, and it keeps its gold somewhere nobody has ever found. Your students have got closer than anyone: they are inside, and there is one route through to the pot that the math will give them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReading letters off a map with a key to decode the first direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAddition along a trail of pots of gold, with the running total settling the clue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChecking worked answers for errors and tallying which are correct\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAddition problems used to color the correct shamrock and arrow forward\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAddition decoded through a letter key to find the final room\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull color and black-and-white versions of every page\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnswer keys for the whole case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Is a CSI Mystery Detective Case?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeduction on paper, powered by math - that is a CSI Mystery Detective case. Your class gets a crime and a line-up, the math worksheets supply the evidence, and every correct answer removes one suspect until a single name is left. It is a math escape room without the locks, the login or the prep. The advantage over a practice page is that the arithmetic has to hold or the case will not close. Use it as a whole math activity, in math centers, or as detective activities for early finishers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Use This Resource\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSt Patricks Day in March, when a normal worksheet will not hold them\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAddition and subtraction review before or after a unit test\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMath centers, early finishers and independent work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmergency sub plans that run themselves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnd of year review, when attention is thin and the work still has to happen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade Levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for 2nd grade and 3rd grade.
