Description
Make your 4th grade math task cards more engaging with this Easter fraction mystery FREEBIE! Use this resource in your math centers, during independent time, for fast finishers, or for test prep review.
I created this activity to be very low prep for teachers but still engaging for students. Just print, cut the task cards and hang them around your classroom.
Students will listen to The Case of the Stolen Jellybeans before starting this activity. They will then answer the fraction word problem task cards on their recording sheet and use their answers to crack the case. A scaffolding strategy is including in the Teacher's Guide for students who need some extra support.

- Converting mixed numbers to improper fractions
