Description
Welcome, welcome, welcome! Thank you for tuning in to this very special program. While you were away, I have sent you quite a treat. FOUR math puzzles. I know you are VERY excited, but wait – there’s more! These puzzles weren’t just put together by anyone. They have been written by a MASKED MATHEMATICIAN!
The Masked Mathematician is famous person in history. They have left clues behind about who they are. Integrate math with social studies! 🙂
General Procedures:
A.) The Set-Up – Print a packet for each student.
B.) The Job – Students will solve between 8 to 20 problems across four puzzles. They may need to cross out letters, complete word searches, eliminate options or solve ciphers. When complete, each puzzle will reveal a clue. These clues will correspond to the information provided on the Suspect List – with the exception of the quote on Puzzle 4 that is attributed to the Masked Mathematician.
C.) The Clues – After students have a clue, they can rule out suspects of who the Masked Mathematician may be. Unlike the elementary topics, these clues will NOT completely reveal the Masked Mathematician so students will have to make an educated guess — and may be surprised by the result. Just like on The Masked Singer.
D.) The Reveal – You may enjoy a web application where students will be able to “unmask” the Masked Mathematician to culminate the activity. Click here to visit!
