6th – 8th Grade
This activity is a FREE sample challenge to give you a look inside the Math Escapes line of resources.
Students will be given 10 percent problems to solve. They will locate the card in the envelope that contains their answer and lay it on top of the question on the challenge page. When finished, they will need to preform the indicated operation(s) with their answers in order to reveal the code.
Also included is a hint card, envelope label and answer key.
About Math Escapes :
Math Escapes provide students with a collaborative way to review math skills. Each escape includes eight challenges that require students to use specific skills to find codes that will unlock each puzzle.
What makes Math Escapes different?
Math Escapes do not require the challenges to be completed in any particular order. In order for students to “escape” they simply have to find all 8 codes. This allows for (a) differentiation, (b) removal of challenges for time and (c) the ability for you to only make one copy of each challenge because as groups finish one challenge their next one can be whatever is available.
