Description
When your fifth graders find themselves stuck in a time warp, can they use their math skills to break out and save summer vacation? In this fun year end digital escape room, your 5th grade students are tasked with activating a time machine so that the school year can end. They will solve clues to wire up a transmitter by adding fractions, build a landing zone by multiplying fractions, power up a generator by converting measurements, and much more. This activity is great to use in small groups in the classroom, but is also very easy to implement for students at home if distance learning needs to occur or for summer math review. Your students may be ready to escape the school for summer, but this activity will keep them engaged with math review at the end of the school year!
This online escape room does not require any printing, has no clues to hide, and is self-checking. It is extremely easy to implement during the busy end-of-the school year. The breakout process is automated by a Google Form™, but you do not need to have Google Classroom™ or student e-mail addresses to use this product. Any student with a device and internet access will have the tools they need to complete this activity.

FAQ
- Do students need to have Gmail™ accounts? NO! Anyone with internet access and a tablet, computer, or even phone can complete the breakout.
- How long will this take? That is the hardest question as the answer varies depending on each classroom, student, or group. Most students will be able to complete this activity in under 45 minutes. You can allow 60 minutes to be safe. The form will not save student data, so if you are worried about your students not finishing on time, simply have them write their answers on scratch paper. They can then come back and quickly re-enter their answers and pick up where they left off. Some students with a firm grasp on the concepts covered in this escape room will be able to complete the puzzles very quickly (20-30 minutes), others will take longer.
- Will students have to search the web to figure out the puzzles? NO! All of the information needed will be provided in the Google Form™. The math in this activity is all standards-based.
***This product is not designed to be a review of all fifth grade math standards! This is a standards-based product created to keep kids engaged in math during the distracting final days of school. While many key fifth-grade standards are required to solve these puzzles, it is in no way designed to be a comprehensive review of 5th grade math requirements.
