This Escape the School end of year escape room activity is a super fun and engaging way for students to review and practice a variety of math skills! It is a low-prep activity with an exciting theme designed for 4th to 5th grade.

Students begin by reading an entertaining storyline where they find themselves locked inside the school cafeteria on the last day of school. Unfortunately, everyone else has gone home and the only way to get out is by solving math puzzles.

There are 5 tasks to complete in order to escape the school. Completing a task correctly will reveal part of a secret code. If the code is correct, they advance to the next task. If not, try again!

Once all 5 pieces of the code are collected, students will have the key to get out of the school.
