Trip Around the World
In this interactive, virtual escape room experience, your students can have the chance to virtually "visit" and explore four iconic cities famous worldwide.
Sydney, Australia
St. Petersburg, Russia
London, England
San Francisco, USA
In this regard, students are to deal with and answer several mean, median, mode and range problems presented to them for successful travel from one city to another.
The cities on the way will present the student with unique challenges so that learning does not become monotonous. In all, 40 carefully crafted problems ensure that every concept relating to mean, median, mode and range is reviewed broadly and thoroughly.
Adaptable and Embracing Diversity
This activity is created to work on any device: laptop, tablet, or smartphone, to be used by all students. It also comes with a printable version, complete with task cards, worksheets, and solutions for added flexibility.
How It Works
Through this, successful completion of math problems assigned in each individual city rewards students with the link that unlocks and leads them to a new exciting destination. This innovative format of gamification not only fosters a strong sense of achievement among the student but also keeps them really enthusiastic and excited to keep on their enriching learning adventure.
Why You’ll Love It No prep required—perfect for the busy teacher! Very engaging and exciting for those students who are game enthusiasts as well as challenge takers.
Reinforces key math skills in a way that's relevant and powerful.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Calculate the range of a small whole-number data set by finding the difference between its greatest and least values.
Find the median of a data set containing three to five whole numbers.
Calculate the mean of a data set by summing its values and dividing by the count.
Identify the mode of a data set that contains a repeated value.
Teaching tips
Assign the four city worksheets in the printed order (Sydney, St. Petersburg, London, San Francisco), since the digital activity referenced on page 1 unlocks each city in turn.
Use the solutions page (page 6) to grade quickly — answers are grouped by city name in the same order as the worksheets.
Have students complete the printable worksheets first, then hand them the linked digital activity to enter answers and unlock the next city; the PDF's graphic pages (7-16) belong to that online experience rather than standing alone as printable content.
Skills covered
Range calculation — students find the range of four- and five-value data sets on the Sydney worksheet (page 2).
Median calculation — students order and find the middle value of three- to five-value data sets on the St. Petersburg worksheet (page 3).
Mean calculation — students average three- and four-value data sets on the London worksheet (page 4).
Mode identification — students spot the most frequent value in data sets that include a repeat on the San Francisco worksheet (page 5).
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How do the four city worksheets connect to each other?
Each city practices one statistic on its own — Sydney is range, St. Petersburg is median, London is mean, and San Francisco is mode — and the printable solutions page groups the answers by the same four city names for quick grading.
What do the numbers in each city's problems look like?
They are short whole-number sets — as few as three values for median and mode, or four to five values for mean and range — so no decimals or negative numbers appear on the printable worksheets.
