Yellowstone National Park Treasure Hunt Escape Room: Math Real World Questions

This escape the park activity is great for a variety of ages. Students will have an hour to complete all the questions to find a treasure. They will have to solve math problems with real world application in order to open separate lock boxes. If they don't make it in an hour the park will be closed. I have included multiple sets of questions that could be used for a variety of skill levels. You will need manilla folders to represent your lock boxes. The questions include a variety of readiness standards mostly focusing on 3rd, 6th and 7th grade math.
