Description
When your sixth 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 6th grade students are tasked with activating a time machine so that the school year can end and they can escape school! They will solve clues to wire up a transmitter by combining like terms with distribution to create equivalent expression, build a landing zone by finding the area of a composite shape, power up a generator by solving a ratio word problem, 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.
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.
What do students need to know in order to complete the puzzles?
- Complete an x, y table when given an expression in two variables. Example: y=x/2 find the y value when x is 4, find the x value when y is 6.
- Identify points in the all four quadrants of the coordinate plane
- Find the missing number to form an equivalent ratio
- Evaluate expressions following order of operations in expressions involving exponents, including raising a fraction to the second power.
- Compare small negative numbers in an inequality (-1.25>-1.5)
- Understand the concept of number opposites, negative integers, and absolute value in order to complete an inequality such as -(-5) and | -5 |
- Use the distributive property in expressions including a single variable, then combine like terms to match equivalent expressions
- Find the area of a composite shape which includes components which are triangles and rectangles
- Decode a typed Morse Code message when given a key
- Think critically to solve the puzzles!

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 sixth 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 sixth-grade standards are required to solve these puzzles, it is in no way designed to be a comprehensive review of 6th grade math requirements.
