What educators are saying

I love the variety of types of problems in the "escape room". I also appreciated the fact that it was not too basic. I used it with high school students and they loved it!
I like to celebrate all things math related. This was a great Pi Day activity. It gave the students a review of some standards that had been previously covered. What I like about this activity is that i was able to give the students some math work disguised as something fun.

Description

I love a breakout but don’t love the hassle of all the necessary equipment. A digital breakout uses the same concept but without the physical locks and keys. All you need is the internet and collaborative, logical minds.

This digital breakout is an introductory breakout to understanding pi. Students will use hyperlinked resources to understand the parts of a circle, identify the first 15-20 digits of pi, learn how pi is calculated, and recognize that pi and other numbers are classified as irrational. Video links provide information to assist students in solving the locks to each puzzle. This team building exercise will provide learning, problem solving, and fun.

**The breakout would make a great addition to any Pi Day celebration OR to introduce pi for upcoming lessons using pi.**

If you have used digital breakouts before, all you will have to do is assign the link provided. The link is to a Google Site that holds the Google Form with the “locks” and the narrative for the breakout. Custom links are embedded within the Google Site to the clues.

Clues can be found by solving 5 locks including:
★ Clicking on hyperlinks found within underlined text and pictures
★ Identifying parts of a circle
★ Identifying the first 15-20 digits in pi
★ Calculating pi when given the circumference and diameter
★ Solving a puzzle identifying numbers, like pi, that are irrational

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.
Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.
Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
Prove that all circles are similar.
