Description
Nothing like a good criminal investigation to liven up math class! In this project, students will work in teams to investigate the culprit of six fictional thefts. The criminal has left six messages layered with algebra. Teams will work to build a case and present their findings to the court. Hopefully, they are convincing enough to win the verdict.
We like to use these puzzles as review before the unit test. The puzzle-solving hook causes many different students to engage in solving traditionally mundane problems. Be the cool teacher 🙂
