Calling all math detectives! We’re celebrating the 100th day of school with Math Mysteries. Solve our riddles, think creatively, and start fun conversations all about problem solving and mathematical thinking.
What is a Math Mystery?
A Math Mystery is a brain-teaser, video, or activity that invites students and parents to think about math together. Ask your child to be the detective and figure out how they want to approach and solve a problem. You’ll be amazed at the creative solutions they come up with! We’re combating math anxiety by making the problem-solving process part of the fun.
