4th Grade Christmas & Winter Math Activities Digital Escape Room Bundle

These Christmas and winter math activities are sure to keep your 4th graders engaged before the holidays. All three of these digital escape rooms focus on important fourth grade math standards.

• Revenge of the Gingerbread Man is the most challenging of the three online breakouts. Students are locked inside the bakery and need to use their math skills to escape! Small groups are best for this escape room. You should plan approximately 60 minutes.
• The Rogue Reindeer will take your students approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. This is probably the easiest of the three escape rooms, though still offers fun challenges and ciphers.
• Escape the Snow Globe is a "Quick Escape" and should take your fourth graders approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. The difficulty level of this activity is slightly higher than the Rogue Reindeer.

These online activities is easy to implement and is completely automated by a Google Form™. Google™ accounts are not required. These 4th grade winter & Christmas themed escape rooms can be completed by anybody with an internet-connected device and browser. There are no clues to hide, and any printable pages are optional. The puzzles are completely self-checking and the form will only allow students to progress if correct answers are entered. Students will have to read carefully to figure out ciphers and codes!

In order to help the snowman out of the snow globe, your students will need these grade 4 math skills:

• Solve three word problems involving multiplicative comparison, division of a three digit number by a single digit, and a multi-step problem involving multiplicative comparison and subtraction with regrouping
• Perform two-digit by two-digit multiplication problems (there are 8 of these) and divide a four-digit number by a single-digit divisor (there are three of these). Note that the three division problems are easier numbers to work with, for example 4,509 ÷ 9 which can be completed fairly easily with an area model or the standard algorithm. The answers to these problems is used to decode a message.
• Identify prime and composite numbers, find the factors of numbers within 100 and round to the nearest ten.

When the Gingerbread Man sneaks out of the bakery and locks your students inside, they will need the following fourth grade skills to complete his puzzles:

• Multiply two-digit numbers by two-digit numbers
• Interpret remainders in division problems (two-digit dividend, single digit divisor)
• Solve multi-step word problems involving multiple operations
• Complete logic puzzles (a printable page is provided to help students organize their work for these)
• Understand the terms prime, factors, multiples, sum, product

To find the Rogue Reindeer and save Christmas, your students will need to use their knowledge of these 4th grade math skills:

• Rounding to the nearest ten and hundred with a challenging rounding puzzle/question
• Multi-step word problems
• Dividing three-digits by a single digit without a remainder
• Multiplying two-digit numbers by a single-digit
• Finding missing numbers to form equivalent fractions
• Understanding factors, multiples, and prime numbers.
