Description

Looking for a low-prep, highly-engaging activity to practice setting up and solving for ratios and proportions from word problems and equations for proportional relationships? This murder mystery is the perfect way for students to practice while having FUN!

Students become suspects after a carnival worker is murdered. There are only a few clues about the murderer, and the students must set up and solve proportions to figure out who it is!

Students are given character cards when they enter the room and assume the role of a carnival visitor. Their fun-filled day comes to an end when a carnival worker is found dead. They must work through the clue/worksheet to clear their own name and figure out who among them is the murderer!

The digital version allows students to work independently to solve the mystery by solving for clues on the clue sheet to eliminate suspects and figure out who the murderer is. This version is created in Google Slides & includes full student and teacher instructions!

Standards

CCSS6.RP.A.3b

Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?

CCSS6.RP.A.3d

Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.

CCSS7.RP.A.1

Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction ½/¼ miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.

CCSS7.RP.A.2b

Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.

CCSS7.RP.A.3

Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.
