These Mystery Number Task Cards are perfect for building number sense and reasoning skills, and students love cracking the code!

Each card gives students 5 clues about a hidden number. Every clue narrows down the possibilities until only one number is left.

In this pack, 3 levels are provided, with 36 cards in each (108 in total).

Level One: the mystery number is a 2-digit number

Level Two: the mystery number is a 3-digit number

Level Three: the mystery number is a 4-digit number

The clues cover place value, odd and even numbers, multiples, and adding and multiplying digits. With 108 cards across three levels there's something to challenge every student in your class.

They work beautifully as a warm up, a maths rotation or a fast finisher activity, and students can record their working in the booklet, on mini whiteboards or straight into their books.

Maths Warm-Up: Broken Calculator
This is one of those maths warm-ups that looks simple at first, but don't let that fool you because it gets students thinking flexibly, sharing strategies, and proving there's rarely just one way to tackle a maths problem.

Maths Warm-Up: Maths O'clock
If your students enjoy sharing different ways to solve a problem, they'll love this activity. This low-prep maths warm-up turns a simple clock face into a creative challenge that gets everyone thinking.

Maths Warm-Up: Msytery Digits
Some of the best maths conversations happen when there's more than one correct answer. That's exactly why this is one of my favourite maths warm-ups. It's a low floor, high ceiling activity that gets every student thinking, no matter where they're at.
