Students must use their math skills to unlock clues. Then, use their powers of deduction to narrow down the list of locations to find the treasure

There are five clues to crack to solve the mystery:

  • Clue 1: Read Decimals Written in Word Form and Write in Numerical Form
  • Clue 2: Value of the Underlined Digit (Including Decimals to the tenths, hundredths, thousandths)
  • Clue 3: Comparing Decimals (wholes, tenths, hundredths, thousandths)
  • Clue 4: Converting Decimals from Expanded Form to Standard Form (using fractions)
  • Clue 5: Rounding Decimals (whole, tenths, hundredths, thousandths)

Students must use critical thinking skills to determine what the clue tells them to eliminate from the list of possibilities.
