Description
Bring fun to your math lessons with this engaging, story-driven number pattern activity. The Shipwreck Discovery Number Pattern Challenge helps students strengthen their pattern recognition and problem-solving skills by extending number sequences in an exciting underwater exploration setting. Each task card follows a dive team, marine biologist, geologist, or other expedition member going about their day - recording depths, tracking artifacts, and uncovering the secrets of a sunken ship - while solving a real-world math problem. As they solve each problem correctly, they unlock parts of a coordinate grid. Once all problems are complete, they use the coordinate plane code to reveal a final mystery phrase. These self-grading Boom Cards are perfect for Grade 5 students. Use them for math centers, review, early finishers, or independent practice. What's Included ✔ 1 Boom Deck (13 self-grading digital task cards) ✔ Real-world shipwreck themed number pattern problems ✔ Engaging story-driven scenarios set on an underwater expedition ✔ Coordinate plane mystery phrase reveal activity ✔ Students solve, unlock grid sections, and follow the code to reveal the phrase This deck reinforces • Identifying and extending growing and shrinking number patterns • Applying multiplication, division, addition and subtraction rules • Recognising pattern rules from a sequence of numbers • Extending patterns using all four operations
