3rd Grade Math Mystery Case of the Halloween Hullabaloo BOOM Cards

Math Mysteries are now BOOM CARDS and after solving the mystery, kids will answer comprehension questions about the story (to make sure the kids actually READ, and not just answer the math questions.) This math mystery is a fun way for 3rd graders to practice doing a variety of word problems in a unique way.

Kids just start reading at the beginning of the book, solve the problems, and go where the book tells them to go! If they get the wrong answer, they will have a 'stopper' that will tell them to go back to where they were working, and TRY AGAIN! After finding the answers to the math problems, kids will answer comprehension questions about the story (to make sure the kids actually READ, and not just answer the math questions.) 

This mystery includes these skills:

 *elapsed time to the 5 minutes
*reading a bar graph and figuring information from it
*add 3 2-digit numbers
*Counting and adding money
*simple fraction addition
*converting measures (feet to yards and seconds to minutes)
*shapes
*measurement to 1/2 inch
*making change

There are a total of 10 word problems included in this mini math mystery, as well as 7 comprehension questions.

Your students can review the chapter with this fun 20 interactive BOOM Cards. They are part of the new Boom Learning platform.
