Why Teachers Like You LOVE This Resource:
“My 4th grade home schooler had a LOT of fun with this math puzzle! It took her a good while, but she didn’t want to stop (contrary to most math assignments), and it taught her at least one concept she hadn’t yet learned this year (mapping points). Very timely fun–who doesn’t love a good mystery?! Thank you!”, – HG.
“My 4th graders LOVED this!! They enjoyed the variety of styles of puzzles and it was great to see their problem solving. I also loved that this reviewed many concepts from the beginning of the year and reinforced problem solving.” – Valerie B.
