    My 2nd graders are obsessed with math mysteries. This math mystery was the perfect addition to our fractions/pizzeria day!

    My third grade class cheers when they find out we are doing one of your escape rooms. They love working with a partner to solve the mystery each time. I appreciate the printable pamphlets as well to record answers. Thank you!

  5. chloe K. –

    I love this resource so much! It led me to purchase a subscription to their site (not needed to use this) so I could have access to all of them! My students get so excited whenever we complete any assignments from this site and are always so engaged!

    This was a great resource to review fractions with my students! Thank you!

  7. Michael D. –

    This was honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made! I loved how well it was scaffolded, making it easy for my students to build understanding step by step. The visuals were amazing, and I really appreciated that it was both printable and available as a digital game. Everything was so thoughtfully crafted, and my 3rd graders absolutely loved it!

  8. Elizabeth Swartz –

    My 3rd graders did this at the end of our fraction unit while I worked with those who needed more practice. It kept them engaged, and they reported it was really fun.

  9. Terri G. –

    Much better than just doing work book pages or worksheets. Students were much more engaged with this activity than with other fractions activities we have tried!

  10. Shawna Frentz –

    Thank you for this differentiated resource. It was fun and engaging for my students, and I loved that I could differentiate so easily.

  11. kimberly B. –

    My kids LOVE when they hear they have a virtual field trip or webquest from Magicore! It is so easy to assign in an instant. The kids enjoy the videos. The read aloud option id great for my kids who have accommodations. They cover SO MANY different topics.

  12. Destiny W. –

    My students were so engaged with this activity. The suspicion of it all really had them tuned in and ready to learn!

  13. Amanda Grisham –

    This was such a fun way to teach fractions! My students loved the pizza mystery theme and were excited to solve the clues and figure out the culprit. The challenges kept them engaged while practicing important fraction skills, and I really appreciated the differentiation for both 2nd and 3rd grade levels. The mix of printable and digital options made it very easy to use in the classroom. It’s a creative and engaging resource that makes learning fractions feel like a game!

  14. North of Somewhere –

    The digital version of this is awesome! I love that I can just link it and students can go. If you are wanting to print this and make folders, it is very confusing. There are not many directions for what to include where and in what order.

  15. Gina Livingston Three Cheers for Third –

    This was an excellent way for my class to wrap up our unit on Fractions. We had a pizza fun day. Students helped to solve the mystery at the Pizza Parlor in Crustville. Best part NO TEACHER REQUIRED PREP, sent the link out in Teams on their iPads and they completed the challenges with a partner. Then we made pizzas using fractions for the toppings and our cafeteria baked them for us. Will be purchasing more from MagiCore.

  19. Ashley F. –

    My students had a blast with the Pizza Fractions Magical Mystery activity! They loved solving the fraction puzzles while “building” their pizzas, and it really helped them understand fractions in a hands-on, memorable way. It’s been great to see them apply these skills in their everyday math work!
