✨✨The Story of The Mystery of the Mathematical Treasure✨✨

Exactly 100 years ago, in an old library perched on a mountain peak, an eccentric yet brilliant mathematician named Professor Numeronius made an astonishing discovery: a secret formula that could transform mathematics into a power of the mind capable of unlocking the gates to any mystery in the world.

To protect this precious knowledge, Professor Numeronius hid it inside a magical treasure: The Treasure of Logical Thinking – a golden chest containing the brightest mathematical ideas: games, codes, thinking tools, and secrets of rapid calculation. 

But the professor knew that only the brave, the curious, and the sharp-minded should be able to find it. On a clear night, he wrote a letter to children from different corners of the world...

Dear Curious Reader, 

        I am Professor Numeronius, seeker of truths hidden in the mystery of numbers and endless enigmas. I am writing this letter in the hope that you will open your heart to the call of mathematics – that secret language which unlocks the gates to understanding the world.  A hundred years ago, in a forgotten corner of the world, I made a discovery that would forever change the way our minds perceive the universe: a mysterious formula, a key that transforms simple mathematics into a power of the mind, capable of solving the deepest mysteries. To keep this gift safe, I hid it inside a magical box, which I named The Treasure of Logical Thinking. Inside are fascinating games, secret codes, thinking tools, and the secrets of rapid calculation – all designed to awaken the genius within each of us. I invite you to embark on a journey of knowledge, to discover this treasure yourself, and to become a master of the mind, ready to face any enigma. 

                     With  admiration for your curious spirit, Professor Numeronius

                  

                  

 He thus designed missions with mathematical challenges, hidden in mysterious places. For one hundred years, the treasure remained forgotten… until today, when the brave detectives of mathematics have decided to set out on a quest to find it and unravel the mystery.

🔑 Mission 3: The Magic Operations – Multiplication and Division! ✨

✨ Let's start the mission and uncover the secrets of the treasure!✨

👉Introduction:

🔮 Bravo, math detective! You’ve successfully passed through the world of addition and subtraction! 🏆
Now a new door has opened: you will enter the Kingdom of Multiplication and Division. 🔢
Here you will discover how numbers combine to become bigger or are split into equal parts. Get ready to use the magic of mathematics! ✨

👉Activities: 

In this mission, we will work by colors, just like in Mission 2, to adapt the activities to the students’ age and level:
47-60🔵Blue – for students aged 9–12, who will solve challenges involving multiplication and division.
61-74🔴Red – for students aged 6–8, who will work on special puzzles, adapted to their developmental level.

🔍 Important explanation:
As we have partners with students aged 6–8, who have not yet studied multiplication and division, we decided to include special puzzles for them in Mission 3. This mission is scheduled around International Puzzle Day, giving us the opportunity to enjoy this captivating game together, which stimulates logic, creativity, and cooperation

👉How will we work?

• Each teacher will choose a color according to the age of their students: 🔵 Blue 🔴 Red

• Then, select a resource from Mission 3 together with your class, testing a few games (IT DOESN’T MATTER who created it – the creator completed an activity given to the project teachers in 4.3 Workshop of Mathematical Mysteries)

• Edit the page and write your initials + game number – this way the challenge is launched!

• The chosen game number CANNOT be used again!

• Another colleague accepts the challenge and also leaves their initials + game number for the challenge

• This way we have the team formed and the challenge given and accepted by two partners from two different countries!

• In the BOOK, we post on adjacent pages!

✨TEAM CHALLENGE✨

This is a challenge created by each team(teacher + their students).After consulting within the team, the teacher writes their initials and launches the challenge, indicating the number of the resource used. Afterwards, the teacher’s team waits to receive a challenge from another colleague in a different country.

✨ STUDENT CHALLENGE✨

This is a challenge launched by a student to another student from a different country. Each teacher registers a student (using the student’s initials) and sends the challenge. Then, the student waits to receive a challenge back from another student in a different country.
