If your students love a good puzzle that engages their attention while reviewing various math skills, this "Whodunnit?!" problem is perfect for your class!
 
None of my Whodunnit puzzles involve a violent crime. The scenario for "Mystery at the Match" is:
It’s the Toronto Football Club championships, and all the best teams in the league are coming together to determine the winner of the Tournament Trophy. The reigning champions, The Toronto Tornadoes, are back to defend their title, but they have some stiff competition. Before the championship matches begin though, the ultimate prize, the Tournament Trophy, is missing!! Who took it? Why?
 
Students must answer 8 problems that focus on place value up to the millions and thousandths place.
