What educators are saying
Description
This Math Mission is designed to review 4 grade Math Skills.
Will your class solve this math mission in time? This digital escape room is a perfect beginning of the year activity for 5th grade or end of the year activity for 4th grade. It is a fun and engaging game that involves your students in an interactive game where they are trying to complete the Amazing Race. Students will solve a series of questions and clues in order to complete the tasks required to make their way through 4 countries - France, Italy, China, and Australia. Review important 4th-grade math skills involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of numbers. Students will be engaged in solving riddles, a maze, and questions involving comparing numbers, using the expanded form of numbers, solving place value riddles, and problem-solving. This mission is great for the beginning of the unit review to review those 4th-grade skills needed in 5th grade.
What is a digital escape room?
A digital escape room is an online game that begins with a theme - this one is The Amazing Race. Students work collaboratively in groups of 2 or 3 in order to escape or solve the mission. They are challenged to solve riddles and questions 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 Amazing Race Adventure Google Form
- Teacher Guide of directions on how to use the resource
- Masters to copy for the Travel Documents Envelopes (You need to provide 4 envelopes.)
This is the Digital version of the Amazing Race 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.
Two Versions of the Math Mission are included. A classroom version and a completely digital mission that works well for students learning from home or for teachers who do not wish to use the scavenger hunt component in the classroom.
In the classroom version, students will have 4 opportunities to move around the room and look for the travel document 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.
The completely digital version does not utilize the envelopes and the scavenger hunt components. Those activities have been moved online.
I highly recommend you work through the activity before assigning it to students so you are aware of how it works.
Students can use a passport to collect stamps for each country they visit in the Amazing Race.
Since this is a digital math mission, I have kept prep work 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 the answers do not match, they need to rework the problem before they can open or unlock the envelope.
