Mrs. Vasil's 3rd grade class were detectives trying to solve math mysteries with their buddies. They did multiplication, 3 digit addition/subtraction and word problems as they tried to figure out "whodunit". As they finished their first set of mystery clues, they received their next clue to narrow down who stole the candy. The students had so much fun trying to race the other teams to see who could solve the clues first!
