5th Grade Math Digital Escape Rooms Holiday & Seasonal Bundle of Math Activities

These cool math activities are sure to keep your fifth graders engaged during the busy holiday seasons. The best part is that these digital escape rooms are very low prep (most just have a page or two to print), and they are fully automated by a Google Form™! Note that this does NOT require Google Drive™ or e-mail addresses for students. Anyone with internet access and a computer or tablet can complete these digital breakouts!

• Kick off the school year with an engaging review of several 4th grade math standards in our back to school escape room, Escape the Deserted Island.
• A pumpkin/Halloween themed digital breakout lets your students practice place value and rounding with decimals as they save the pumpkins.
• Escape the Haunted House is a "Quick Escape" that is great for Halloween season, or any time! Students will use their knowledge of multiplying and dividing by powers of 10 to escape!
• The Thanksgiving escape room comes in digital and print versions and has students evaluating expressions with order of operations, working more with decimals, solving logic puzzles, and working on word problems.
• Revenge of the Gingerbread man is great to use before winter break/Christmas time (no specific holidays are mentioned). Students will try to breakout of the bakery by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals; solving word problems, recognizing patterns with powers of ten, and solving logic puzzles.
• Escape the Snow Globe is also perfect for before winter break. This "Quick Escape" focuses on operations with decimal numbers & place value understanding.
• Valentine's Day (or any day) is made more fun when your class help to finish brewing a love potion by ordering decimal numbers, evaluating expressions with parentheses, subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, and dividing by 2-digit numbers.
• The Valentine's Villain will require students to demonstrate their knowledge of adding and subtracting fractions in order to save the candy.
• Operation Free the Leprechaun is a fun St. Patrick's Day math challenge where students have to multiply fractions, find points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, work with decimals, and solve logic puzzles.
• Escape to Green Island is perfect for Earth Day, or any day! Students divide whole numbers by unit fractions, convert measurement, and much more!
• The Year-End Operation Save Summer Vacation will have students race to activate a time machine by adding, subtracting and multiplying fractions; multiplying and dividing by powers of ten; comparing expressions with parentheses using order of operations, and much more!

*This is not a growing bundle! While I may occasionally add a product, not all 5th grade holiday escape rooms will be included (for example, escape rooms for religious holidays such as Christmas or Easter will not be included in this bundle as they are not able to be used by many teachers).

Escape rooms are a great way to encourage collaboration, review skills, provide enrichment, and keep kids actively engaged!
