Number String Detectives in 202!
202 became detectives during math as they searched for hidden facts within number strings! Students worked to spot double facts and make 10 facts. Then they used their discoveries to crack the detective code. They put their teamwork, problem solving and math thinking skills to work as they solved each case!
