1st Grade Narrated Digital Valentine Villains Math Mystery

Digital Math Mysteries are a fun and engaging activity where 1st graders begin listening to the story, solve the word problems, and click on the correct answer. If the correct answer is chosen, the story continues. If a wrong answer is chosen, a 'stopper' will tell them to go back to where they were working, and TRY AGAIN! Check out the video to see how this math mystery works!

There is also a link to a Google Forms version of this math mystery as well. However, it is not narrated and students will probably require help with the reading involved.

PLEASE NOTE: The forms are NOT editable. There is no need to view results, like in a quiz because students MUST get the answer correct before advancing to the next section.
