My students enjoyed taking a break from reviewing for testing to work on this fun packet!
Very easy to use and students loved it! Thank you!
My kids enjoyed this resource before the spring break!
My students were having a great time as they searched for the egg hiding culprit. They were engaged while solving the math problems and it was easy for me to set up.
This resource was highly engaging and the students enjoyed working through the clues at Easter time. It was fun to celebrate the end of the lesson by eating a Cadbury egg when they found the correct teacher.
My students enjoyed this math escape room in the days before break.
My students absolutely loved this! The mystery storyline kept them engaged the entire time, and they didn’t even realize how much math they were doing. It was perfect for end-of-term energy and worked really well as a whole-class or group activity. The editable suspect list was a great touch for personalizing it to our school.
This was a great review for my students but tied in the season to give them something new.
My Ontario grade 5 class loved this activity! It was a fun activity before the long weekend!
My students thoroughly enjoyed this activity. They were engaged the whole time!
My students really enjoyed this activity!
My kiddos love escape rooms. They ask for them all the time. This one is a perfect fit to my review for the state test coming up. It was easily adaptable to the bootcamp them because who doesn't like rabbits. They kids love cracking the code.
My class loves a challenge and this was a fun activity that they could do with a partner.
These have been very helpful to use in my classroom as part of a mini lesson and review.
My students absolutely loved this activity. They found it engaging and challenging as a fun task for Easter.
My students loved this activity in the last week of term. They worked in pairs and enjoyed being challenged by some of the questions.
