Engage your students with this fun and interactive mystery-solving activity while reinforcing key algebra skills! In this activity, students work through 24 polynomial problems—12 for adding polynomials and 12 for subtracting polynomials—to uncover clues and solve a mystery.

How It Works:

• Students solve each problem, then find their answer on the Who, Where, When sheet.
• As they match each correct answer, they’ll cross off boxes.
• The final three boxes that remain uncrossed will reveal who committed the mystery, where it happened, and when it occurred!

This hands-on approach helps students practice adding and subtracting polynomials in an engaging, puzzle-like format. It’s perfect for review, homework, or an in-class activity.

What’s Included:

• 24 polynomial problems: 12 adding and 12 subtracting.
• Who, Where, When mystery sheet to guide students through solving the puzzle.
• Modified guided version for differentiated instruction, helping all students succeed.
• Answer Key

Students will love the challenge of solving both the math and the mystery!
