Item description

This Escape the School end of year escape room activity is a super fun and engaging way for students to review and practice a variety of math skills! It is a low-prep activity with an exciting theme designed for 3rd grade.

Students begin by reading an entertaining storyline where they find themselves locked inside the school cafeteria on the last day of school. Unfortunately, everyone else has gone home and the only way to get out is by solving math puzzles.

There are 5 tasks to complete in order to escape the school. Completing a task correctly will reveal part of a secret code. If the code is correct, they advance to the next task. If not, try again!

Once all 5 pieces of the code are collected, students will have the key to get out of the school.

The math tasks in this escape room activity involve:

• Multi-digit addition and subtraction

• Basic multiplication and division

• Comparing basic fractions

• Rounding numbers

• Using a table

Everything is included to set up your escape room:

This escape room has 2 options for the secret codes:

You can choose whichever option works best for your classroom. The Google Forms option does not require students to sign in or use any personal information. You do not need a Google account. They will simply enter their answers in the form. If it is correct, the form gives them the next clue.
