What's inside this resource

This exciting back-to-school themed digital escape room, is designed to provide a fun and engaging experience for your middle school students while reviewing essential grade six math skills. With its captivating storyline and diverse math problems, this escape room is the perfect tool to make learning interactive and enjoyable.

Join the protagonist on his first day of school as you guide him through a series of challenges and review key math concepts.

This escape room covers a wide range of topics, including converting fractions, decimals, and percents; determining the percent of a number; performing operations with fractions; solving one-step equations; and exploring ratios.

With 50 carefully crafted problems, students will have ample opportunities to practice and reinforce their understanding of these fundamental math skills.

One of the standout features of this escape room is its interactive nature.

After completing each game or solving a set of problems, students will discover a link that takes them to the next location within the escape room. This progression adds an element of excitement and keeps students engaged as they navigate through the challenges.

Accessibility is another key aspect of this escape room. It is designed to work seamlessly on laptops, tablets, or smartphones, ensuring that students can participate using their preferred devices. This accessibility accommodates various learning preferences and technological resources, making it suitable for all your students.

Flexibility is built into the escape room experience as well. If students need to complete the activity over multiple days, they can easily do so by saving the address at the top of the page. This allows them to resume their progress right where they left off, fostering a personalized and self-paced learning environment that suits individual needs.

Preparing for this escape room is hassle-free. Since it is entirely online and hosted on interactive pages, there is no need for elaborate preparations such as configuring locks or hiding clues. Simply duplicate the provided student answer sheet, share the link with your students, and they can dive right into the escape room adventure. Moreover, this escape room does not require Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams logins, streamlining the process and eliminating any potential barriers.

To cater to diverse classroom settings, a printable version of the questions is included. This ensures that you have the flexibility to choose between the digital or physical format based on your students' preferences and the resources available to you.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Perform decimal addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division accurately

  • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions, including those with unlike denominators

  • Apply the order of operations to multi-step numeric expressions, including those with parentheses

Teaching tips

  • Assign the five quizzes as short, focused warm-ups rather than one long session, since each isolates a single skill (decimals, fractions, order of operations, or place value).

  • Use the printable quiz pages for students without reliable device access, since the file states the online story links appear only after each quiz is completed on a device.

  • Have students bookmark the saved web address mentioned on page 1 if the online portion is split across multiple class periods, so progress carries over.

Skills covered

  • Decimal arithmetic — students add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals such as 12.7 + 2.8 and 4.8 ÷ 0.4 (Quiz 1).

  • Fraction arithmetic — students add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with unlike denominators, such as 7/6 + 5/2 and 3/4 · 7/8 (Quiz 2).

  • Order of operations — students evaluate multi-step expressions with mixed operations and parentheses, such as 8 · 2 − (2 + 3) (Quiz 3).

Good to know
