HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE
 
To play, print out a set of division cards and place them all around the room in random order.
 
Give each student a copy of the riddle/recording sheet.
 
Put on some fun thinking music and send the kids on a math hunt. They will need to find each card, solve the division problem, and record the corresponding letter on their paper. If all the problems are solved correctly, the answer to the riddle will be revealed.
 
This can be a timed or untimed activity depending on the ability of your students and how much time you have.
 
You can also use these activities in your math centers. Instead of placing the cards around the room, shuffle them and place them in a stack or spread face-down on the table for students to draw from.
 
Preparing for a sub? Instead of busy work, include one of these scavenger hunts in your sub file! It's super easy to set up and the substitute will be free to move around the room to assist students.
