A crime scene with fractions unfolded in Grade 4, caused by a member of the “frightening fraction gang.” To uncover the culprit, students were tasked with solving 24 questions related to fractions. Each correct answer earned them a clue, progressively leading them closer to identifying the suspect.
Some caution tape and a detective storyline go a long way! A little bit of engagement and whole lot of fractions made this activity super fun and meaningful.
