Will your class escape in time? Try this escape room style game with your students today! This is a fun game that is perfect for reviewing 3rd grade Numbers and Operations in Base Ten. Students will practice rounding, adding and subtracting within 1,000, and multiplying single digit numbers by multiples of 10. Your class will also get practice with adding and subtracting within 1,000.

The escape room is an interactive game where the students are timed. They are trying to save the city from the monsters destroying it. Students must solve a string of math questions and clues, as well as decode different ciphers, to escape. If your class has never played an escape game before, I suggest playing this as a whole class. However, materials are provided for up to 6 different groups to play at one time. The teacher gets to set the time limit for students to complete the escape, but 60 minutes is the average most students will need to finish it.

**Versions with and without QR codes included!

This is similar to a scavenger hunt where students will be moving around the room, looking for clues to unlock their envelopes (I have included riddles and suggestions on where to hide each clue). A paper is provided so students can write their work down. For many of the questions, students must have an answer that matches one on an envelope. If the answers do not match, they can’t open or “unlock” the envelope, and must rework the question.

*Everything is included, however teachers must provide their own envelopes.

I give step by step instructions on how to set up the game, including pictures! This is sure to capture the attention of your students.
