Subtraction Treasure Hunt

Description

How does the treasure hunt work? As students solve the problems around the room, they will match up the answer to the corresponding clue word on their decoder page. When all problems have been solved, they will form a final clue for the location of the treasure. Then, X marks the spot!

In addition to the PRINT & GO pages, this resource includes a set of editable PowerPoint templates (the text boxes are editable – the clip art is not), so you can personalize the problems, decoder pages, and answer keys to meet the needs of your students year after year. You’ll find the automatic download link for the templates on pg. 3 of the PDF download.

This resource includes 4 different treasure hunt activities. Each hunt comes in two versions (one without regrouping and one with regrouping). The answers and words in both versions are the same, so you can mix and match grouping/regrouping questions if you would like.

• Version 1a (X in top corner): Subtraction with 2-digit numbers without regrouping
• Version 1b (X in top corner): Subtraction with 2-digit numbers with regrouping
• Version 2a (Compass in top corner): Subtraction with 3-digit numbers without regrouping
• Version 2b (Compass in top corner): Subtraction with 3-digit numbers with regrouping
• Version 3a (Treasure chest in top corner): Subtraction with 2 and 3-digit numbers without regrouping
• Version 3b (Treasure chest in top corner): Subtraction with 2 and 3-digit numbers with regrouping
• Version 4a (Palm tree in top corner): Subtraction with 4-digit numbers without regrouping
• Version 4b (Palm tree in top corner): Subtraction with 4-digit numbers with regrouping

Each of the 4 treasure hunt activities includes:

• 1 Find the Treasure student instruction page
• 1 Clue Tracker page
• 1 Decoder page
• 1 answer key
• 24 subtraction problem pages (12 with no regrouping and 12 with regrouping)

To Print:

• Class set of Decoder Page
• One of each problem page – put these around the room (If you need to save paper, print on four-per-page setting and use this as a task card activity)
• (Optional) Class set of Clue Tracker pages – this provides more structure for students who need an organized way to keep track of their answers and the corresponding clue words. It also encourages students to solve the problems themselves instead of relying on choosing already given answers off the decoder page.

To Do:

• Place the problem pages around the room.
• Decide whether to give students the Clue Tracker pages first and then have them get the Decoder page when this is complete (I recommend this) or start directly with the Decoder page.
• Introduce the activity using pg. 4/34/64/94 (you can display this on your screen by holding CTRL+L) and start hunting!

The digital download includes:
