About this resource
What's inside this resource
The Decimals Place Value math escape room is an engaging and interactive way to review place value concepts with 6th graders.
The escape room is a no-prep, digital resource, designed to make learning fun and exciting for students.
With this interactive digital platform students will solve twenty problems related to place value, aiming to collect badges as they successfully navigate through the challenges.
This is a zero prep resource! You just share a link, and the students can dive right in, using any device with internet connectivity. There is no need to hide clues or set up locks. Plus, it's so user-friendly; the kids won’t need any prior experience with platforms like Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams. There is also no login hassles which means instant access and fewer tech glitches.
The escape room's main goal is for students to answer all the problems correctly to gather all the badges. It's structured in such a way that it encourages perseverance, making sure the kids are thoroughly engaged till the end. They can work on it independently or even as teams, so it's versatile for in-class or distance learning.
And for those who still love the touch of paper or want an extra resource, there's a printable version of all the questions. In essence, this is a fun, engaging, and interactive way to brush up on the Decimals Place Value concepts with your 6th graders!
Some ways I thought it could be used include:
Extra materials for students who might need some more practice.
A fun activity for rewarding the class or perhaps a “Fun Friday” session.
Ideal for those hectic days leading up to holiday breaks.
And, in a pinch, it can even be a lifesaver for last-minute sub lesson plans.
