These problems will make you think! Click the image for a link to the index of problems. Choose a problem based on a math subject you would like to dive into deeper. There are some hints if you get stuck, but remember that it's okay to struggle a little! Thomas Edison made 20,000 light bulbs the WRONG way before he figured out how to do it correctly. Aren't we glad he didn't give up when the going got tough!

Calling all math detectives! Mysteries are popping up all over town, and our chief sleuth needs YOUR help to crack each case.

Choose a mystery to solve (you might want to find a partner to work with!) You will earn your badges, not for having the correct answer, but for PROVING your final answer with evidence from the text! Be detailed in your note taking, problem solving, computation and explanations. DO NOT ERASE!! Your mistakes can help prove your thinking about the solution!
