Description
Can your 5th graders use their knowledge of place value with decimals and rounding decimals to any place to solve the case of "The Great Pumpkin Heist?" This engaging place value activity makes a great worksheet alternative and encourages active learning and collaboration. Fifth grade math skills are used to solve the puzzles and find the town's pumpkins in this Halloween or fall math activity (5.NBT.A.1, 5.NBT.A.2, 5.NBT.A.3, 5.NBT.A.3a, 5.NBT.A.3b, 5.NBT.A.4). *Please note that this is pumpkin-themed and makes no reference to Halloween.
This pumpkin-themed digital escape room is a perfect math activity to keep kids engaged with the distractions of Halloween and other fall activities. Teachers will love that this activity has little to no prep, no clues to hide, and is automated by a Google Form™! Students are not required to have e-mail addresses and you do not need to be a Google Classroom™ user to use this online breakout activity. If you are planning to use this in a virtual academy or distance learning scenario, please see the last three pages of the PDF for directions and tips.
In order to complete the puzzles in this digital breakout, students need to be able to:
- Round numbers to any place (ten-thousands through thousandths)
- Compare the value of decimal numbers written in standard form, expanded form, and written form
- Recognize how place value changes when a number is multiplied or divided by ten
- Recognize the value of a number in a given place (the value of the 4 in 643,997 is 40,000)
- Multiply and divide by powers of 10
- Solve rounding challenges

- Do I have to hide clues? No! There are no clues to hide. Simply give the students a QR code to scan or a link to click, and everything is automated from there!
