Fraction Vault Job | Grade 4 Fractions Heist Escape

The Golden Ratio Museum's vault just locked itself. A glitching security AI called LOCKSMITH-9 has sealed the Golden Pie inside — and only a crew of fraction experts can get it back. Your Grade 4 students are the recovery team: four security rooms, one vault code, and almost no waiting at your desk.

What's included (2 PDFs, US Letter):

• Color kit — 45 pages (full activity, teacher guide, answer keys, extras)

• Ink-saver black & white — 26 pages of student pages

Four rooms map to CCSS 4.NF:

1) Laser Hallway — equivalent fractions (4.NF.A.1)

2) Guard Shift Schedule — compare and order fractions (4.NF.A.2)

3) Vault Gears — add and subtract like denominators / mixed numbers (4.NF.B.3)

4) Getaway Van Fuel — multiply a fraction by a whole number (4.NF.B.4)

Three levels per room — Rookie, Agent, Mastermind — share the same vault code so the whole class finishes together. The self-checking Vault Dial (cardstock + brass brad) reveals a letter for a correct digit and LOCKSMITH-9 ALERT for a wrong one. Crew role badges, mission case-file, teacher guide (45–60 min or 4×15-min splits), glitch hint cards, exit tickets, and Certified Vault Specialist certificates are included. Full answer keys for all three levels.

Print and go — no devices. Constructed response only (no multiple-choice guessing). Needs cardstock, scissors, and one brad per team. Recovery-mission story: students return the artifact; nothing is stolen. Fictional characters only. Evergreen fractions practice for Grade 4 (strong Grade 5 review). Instant PDF download.
