If you're looking for 4th grade fractions worksheet alternatives to help students practice and review adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, creating equivalent fractions, and working with decimals to the hundredths, then check out our digital escape room bundle covering fourth grade fraction standards.

Three escape rooms are included, each offering a variety of standards-based practice. Best of all, these escape rooms are no prep, self-checking, and able to be completed by anyone with an internet-connected device. The online breakout process is automated by a Google Form™ (no e-mail or Google™ accounts are required). There is the option to create your own copy of the form for schools that require Google Forms™ to originate from within their system. *Please make sure that your school district does not block Google Forms™.

Digital Escape Room FAQ

• Do students need to have Gmail™ accounts? NO! Anyone with internet access and a tablet, computer, or even phone can complete the breakout.
• How long will this take? That is the hardest question as the answer varies depending on each classroom, student, or group. Many students with a firm grasp on decimal concepts will complete this escape room in under 30 minutes. You can allow 60 minutes to be safe. The form will only save data if students are signed into Google accounts, so if you are worried about your students not finishing on time, simply have them write their answers on scratch paper. They can then come back and quickly re-enter their answers and pick up where they left off. Some students with a firm grasp on the concepts covered in this escape room will be able to complete the puzzles very quickly (20-30 minutes), others will take longer.
• Can this be used for remote learning? Yes! This product is designed to be able to be completed completely online and can be done in-person, for distance learning, or hybrid models. Students will need a device and internet connection.
• Will students have to search the web to figure out the puzzles? NO! All of the information needed will be provided in the Google Form™. The math in this activity is all standards-based.
