WHO is this mystery for?

*DISTANCE LEARNING TEACHERS- THE DIGITAL TRACK WAS DESIGNED FOR YOU*

Students on the 3rd grade level who are practicing these math skills: 

  • Place Value
  • Triple Digit Addition (carrying)
  • Double Digit Subtraction (no regrouping)
  • Expanded, Word, Standard Form
  • Comparing Numbers

Teachers looking for a quick-prep, rigorous but differentiated, interdisciplinary activity that showcases topics that are often ignored or unexplored within social studies and science curriculum.

WHAT is included?

This adventure is an hour-long activity that can be completed in 3 Tracks:

  • Track 1: ORIGINAL
    • Students read the mystery on a printed booklet, and they solve the clues by answering questions on Google Slides, which they can access with a QR code or link on a computer, tablet, or phone.
  • Track 2: ANALOG
    • Students read the mystery on a printed booklet, and they solve the clues by answering questions on printed task cards.
  • Track 3: DIGITAL
    • Students read the mystery in one browser window of Google Slides, and they solve the clues by toggling between another browser window of Google Slides to answer questions. This method works great for laptops, but is not recommended for tablets. 

No matter which track you take, the core of the activity is the same. Students always have access to the mystery story, 39 math problems, 5 Social Studies Exploration posters, a Writing Challenge, and an integral poster about:

the 1st Amendment, 4th Amendment, 13th Amendment, 19th Amendment, & 22nd Amendment

Students will walk away from this lesson knowing these social studies concepts:

  • What the Constitution and the Amendments are
  • Why the Amendments are important to national progress
  • Who wrote the first Amendments and who has the power to do so today
  • and more!!

WHEN is it designed to be completed?

These skills are best practiced at the beginning of the year, and September 17th happens to be Constitution Day!

WHERE can students solve this mystery?

Students can complete this activity in your classroom with pen and paper or technology, and even from home, thanks to the Digital Track!

HOW can this activity be differentiated?

Using either of these methods, you can scaffold these activities to meet each of your students, exactly where they’re at.

  • CUSTOMIZATION: great for students above and below grade level
    • Each math problem can be edited to whatever you please! Hypothetically, you could buy this mystery for the framework it provides, and change every single question. 
  • AUDIO SUPPORTS: great for multilingual students
    • For the tracks including technology, your students have access to a read-aloud of not just the story, but each word written on Google Slides!

WHY should your students adventure with the Learning League?

  • Low teacher prep/High student engagement
  • Anti-racist curriculum that uplifts women and Black and Indigenous people of color
  • Three activity tracks with DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION
  • Audio scaffolding and editable problems

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:
100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens - called a “hundred.”
The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).
Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
Compare two three-digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
