Mystery Number Stories

Mystery Number Stories are a fun and meaningful way to engage with numbers. Every set of numbers is connected to a real life story. Unlike most problem-solving tasks, Mystery Number Stories invite students to make sense of numbers first. Each Mystery Number Story topic comes with three levels of engagement suitable for K-1 to grade 7.
