Do you like mysteries? Join me as we learn about 6th-grade math skills and complete math mysteries. This class will reinforce grade 6 math concepts, give students more practice, and encourage learners, all while focusing on solving a mystery. Sixth-grade students (any level), fifth-grade advanced students, and seventh-grade students who need review are all welcome! Class sizes are limited to 5 students. Class ranges from 30-40 minutes.

Students may join class during any week.

Each class will begin with a question of the week and math related joke of the week, then we will read the case that we are working on. Both mysteries involve eliminating suspects. Then I will present and model the math skill of the week. Students will work together to complete a few examples of the skill. Students are then given time to work independently or as a group to complete the math problems, which will spell out the clue for the day. Class ends with everyone sharing the clue and eliminating the suspect or marking on a map the next location for the missing animal. Most classes have 16 math practice problems to complete during independent work time. Students will find a clue by matching their answers to the letter and answer in the clue. Both mysteries last 4 weeks, but students can join the class at any time. Students who join mid-mystery will be given clues that have already been discovered.
