Math Mystery- Place Value (Case of the Cursed Candy)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
Looking for a fun way to engage your students while practicing place value skills? The Case of the Cursed Candy Math Mystery is a Halloween-themed math activity that will have your students solving puzzles, cracking codes, and practicing essential math skills—all while trying to stop a Halloween monster from turning the town's children into real monsters!
What’s the Mystery?
It’s Halloween in the spooky town of Mathigan, and something is terribly wrong with the candy being handed out. When the children eat it, they are transformed into real Halloween monsters! One of the town’s monsters has cursed the candy, and it's up to your students to solve the case. Using math skills, students will work through five clues to narrow down a list of ten suspects and discover who is behind the curse.
Skills Covered:
This mystery focuses on key place value skills aligned with 4th-grade standards:
- Finding the Value of a Digit in multi-digit numbers
- Comparing Multi-Digit Numbers to determine larger or smaller values
- Adding and Subtracting Multi-Digit Numbers with and without regrouping up to the hundred thousands
- Rounding Numbers up to the nearest hundred thousand
How It Works:
Students begin by reading the backstory of the cursed candy mystery, where they learn about the strange happenings in Mathigan and the list of 10 possible suspects, each with unique motives and magical items. Then, they solve math problems to unlock clues. Each correctly solved problem helps eliminate suspects from the list, bringing them closer to identifying the culprit behind the curse.
What’s Included:
- Introductory Backstory: A captivating narrative sets the stage for the mystery and introduces the town and the list of suspects, each with a reason to curse the candy.
- 10 Suspects: Students will investigate ten Halloween-themed suspects, each with a motive, a magical item used to make the curse, and an item that can break it.
- 5 Clue Sheets: Each clue sheet provides math problems that students must solve to gather more information. The math problems include place value comparisons, multi-digit addition and subtraction, and rounding to the nearest hundred thousand.
- Answer Keys: Clear answer keys for all clues ensure teachers can quickly check student work and guide them in the right direction.
- Flexible Use: This mystery can be used as a whole group, small group, or independent activity. It’s perfect for review before tests, early finishers, or as a fun, educational activity leading up to Halloween.
Why You’ll Love It:
This Halloween math mystery combines the excitement of a spooky story with important place value practice, making it a perfect way to keep students engaged while learning. The hands-on, puzzle-solving nature of this activity will capture their imaginations and provide opportunities for both individual and collaborative learning. Best of all, students will be having so much fun solving the mystery, they won’t even realize how much math practice they’re getting!

Halloween Mystery Puzzle- (No Prep)- The Case of the Missing Candy Cauldron
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
Looking for a fun and engaging way to celebrate Halloween with your students? The Halloween Mystery: The Case of the Missing Candy Cauldron is the perfect activity for the spooky season! This hands-on, interactive mystery is designed to keep students excited and thinking critically as they solve puzzles and uncover the culprit behind the stolen candy cauldron at the annual Monster Halloween Bash.
Background Story: Every year, the monsters—Frankenstein, Dracula, werewolves, ghosts, zombies, and witches—gather for the Annual Halloween Monster Bash, a highly anticipated event where they enjoy spooky fun, games, and candy. This year, however, something went terribly wrong. As the monsters were dancing and enjoying the festivities, the cauldron filled with candy mysteriously disappeared! The cauldron is the heart of the Monster Bash, and without it, the party can't go on. Someone had stolen the candy, and it was up to the students to find out which monster was responsible before Halloween was ruined!
Suspect List: Students will be introduced to six classic Halloween monsters who attended the party, and any one of them could be the candy thief. The suspects include:
- Limping Larry (the zombie)
- Wags Wolfington (the werewolf)
- Broomhilda (the witch)
- Frank E. Stein (Frankenstein’s monster)
- Baron Von Bat (the vampire)
- Spook E. Doo (the ghost)
Each monster has a unique personality, motive, and evidence that students will use to narrow down the suspects as they solve puzzles. Could it have been Frank E. Stein, who wanted to share the candy with his monster friends? Or maybe Baron Von Bat, who just wanted to show off by stealing the cauldron?
Puzzle Types:The activity includes four different types of Halloween-themed puzzles and ciphers that students will need to solve to gather clues. Each puzzle reveals new information, helping students cross off suspects from their list. The puzzles are designed to engage students while promoting problem-solving skills. Examples of puzzles include:
- Codebreaking: Deciphering Halloween-themed codes.
- Word puzzles: Using letters and numbers to unlock clues.
How It Works: This activity is designed to be versatile and adaptable to various classroom settings. It can be completed independently, used as a fast finisher activity, or done as a group project where students collaborate to solve the mystery together. It can also serve as a fun way to celebrate Halloween in the days leading up to the holiday.
Why Teachers Will Love It:
- Engaging and Thematic: The Halloween theme adds excitement, while the structured puzzles ensure students are learning while having fun.
- Critical Thinking: Students will develop problem-solving skills as they decode ciphers, solve puzzles, and analyze clues.
- Flexible: The activity can be adjusted for different group sizes and skill levels, making it perfect for various classroom environments.
Perfect for Halloween: Whether you're looking for an educational yet festive way to celebrate Halloween or simply want a fun activity to break up the routine, The Case of the Missing Candy Cauldron is a fantastic choice. With its rich backstory, colorful characters, and challenging puzzles, your students will be thrilled to take on the role of detective and solve the Halloween mystery. Best of all, they'll be learning important skills along the way, all while keeping the Halloween spirit alive! Get your class ready for a spooky adventure, and help them save the Monster Halloween Bash by finding the culprit who stole the candy cauldron!
