5th Grade Math Digital Escape Room-End of Year Review Mystery Distance Learning

Now included - Completely Digital Version for those teaching online - Distance Learning forms included. Distance Learning version does not utilize the envelopes and the hands-on components. Those activities have been moved to online. It also includes the original Digital Version with the classroom activities. Two options are included - One with response verification that forces students to work through their mistakes before moving on to the next question and the second one that is a self-grading form. I encourage you to try the option you wish to use before assigning it to students. I am always available to help with questions if needed!

Will your class solve this math mission in time? This digital escape room is perfect for an end of the year math review activity. It is a fun and engaging game that involves your students in a timed, interactive game where they are trying to locate all of the safari animals before time runs out. Students will solve a series of questions and clues in order to compete the tasks required to find the missing safari animals. Review important 5th grade math skills involving comparing decimals, area with decimals, volume, measurement conversions, classification of quadrilaterals, order of operations, and two-step problem solving. This mission is great for an end of the year review or even a beginning of 6th grade review of those 5th grade skills.

What is a digital escape room?

A digital escape room is an online game that begins with a theme - this one is the Safari. Students work collaboratively in groups of 2 or 3 in order to escape or solve the mission. They are challenged to solve puzzles in order to find clues and codes. Escape rooms are fun and engaging for students and they LOVE them!

Included in this resource:

• Link to the Safari Adventure Google Form
• Link to the Completely Digital Safari Adventure
• Teacher Guide of directions on how to use the resource
• Masters to copy for the Task Envelopes for classroom use only (You need to provide 4 envelopes.)

This is the Digital version of the Safari Math Mission. It includes a Google form for you to share with your students. All of the questions and their answers will go on the google form which they will complete and submit to you. The Google form is set up so students can not advance to the next task/question until they solve the question correctly. I have found this extremely helpful as when students get stuck they can discuss it with their partners or come to me and we discuss the question right then.

Similar to a scavenger hunt, students will have 4 opportunities to move around the room and look for the task mission envelopes based on clues. These envelopes will contain the materials they need to complete the next task. Everything is included except for the 4 envelopes the teacher will need to provide.

Since this is a digital math mission, I have kept prep work down to a minimum. You will need to make a few copies to put in the task envelopes and hide them in the classroom. There is a detailed list of instructions with pictures and a checklist to make it as easy to follow as possible. You will not need to buy those expensive locks and containers. The envelopes you use will hold all the materials and they can be “locked” with the number or word from the problem the students have to solve to gain access to the location of the envelope. If they answers do not match, they need to rework the problem before they can open or unlock the envelope.
