About this resource

What's inside this resource

Learn how to solve expressions with order of operations with this Order of Operations | Around the World Escape Room! Reinforce your students' order of operations skills while traveling around the world. With this digital escape room done for you, your students will love it!

Your students will “visit” four different cities: Sydney, St. Petersburg, London and San Francisco.

In order to travel from one city to another, they will have to solve expressions with order of operations.

There are 40 expressions: 10 without parentheses and 30 with parentheses, no exponent.

After completing each game, they will find a link that will take them to another location.

This activity is designed to work on laptops, tablets, or smartphones which makes it accessible to any of your learners and students!

Since this escape room is online (interactive pages) there is very little prep; just duplicate the student answer sheet, provide the link, and off they go! There are no locks to configure or clues to hide—everything you need is online. No Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams logins are necessary.

Due to the Terms of Use of the font/clip artists and stock photo websites that I have purchased from, this product is not editable. Thank you for understanding.
