 This set of riddle cards for fourth and fifth grade math is a
great way to review all year, as well as a fun test prep tool! Each
of the cards has a multi-clue riddle whose answer is a number
between 1 and 120. The cards can be used in so many ways:

* In whole group or small group lessons, they can be used for a game
with a pocket chart or a 1-120 poster (included). Play with
just the riddle cards, or add variety by using the task cards on pages 28-
30.
* Riddle cards are also fun to use for a traditional game of War. Partners
each solve a card, and the one who’s number is greater takes both
cards.
* For independent work, the riddle cards can be used with the solve-
and-color page (p. 32).
* For ongoing whole class review, distribute a card to each child, give
a few moments to solve, and then have the children line themselves
up to leave the classroom by putting themselves in numerical order.
* Riddle cards are a great way to switch up more traditional number talks.
* Put a riddle card up on your interactive board to focus at the beginning
of your math lesson.
* Math riddle cards are great as sponge activities throughout the day.
* Use a math riddle to start a small group lesson. They’re a terrific way for
your students to practice justifying their answer.
* Great for use in RTI, and by tutors and parent helpers.

* In order to be successful with the riddle cards, your students

should be familiar with these concepts/terms/ processes:
multiplication, division, addition and subtraction through eight
digits, remainders, factors, multiples, prime, angle, remainder,
decade, century, perimeter, ounces and pounds, coins, and
geometric shapes.
