Mystery Unit Goodies and Codes

The students and I are loving applying all of the critical thinking and deductive reasoning skills we learned in the Mystery Unit!   We applied those skills to some challenging Math Mysteries this week!   I was very proud of the way everyone learned to apply different strategies to solve each problem.   It was extremely proud of each and every child!   As a reward, I want to share a couple more Mystery Links to share with your families!   Enjoy!  

FBI Biometrics - Face, Palm, Iris, Voice, Fingerprint, DNA and Emerging Biometrics!
Check out what technology the real FBI is using to solve mysteries!   We discussed all of these modalities of identification except the Iris!   I can't wait to hear what you think about how these technologies have evolved over the years and where they are going to go in the future!  

The Problem Site: Codes and Secret Messages!
Here is a link to a cool interactive code site for you to explore that was discovered by one of your classmates!   I know how much you guys enjoy writing messages in secret codes!   Can you create one of your own?
