⭐ This math escape room comes in the following digital and printable formats.

• Webscape™ Format - This web-based format provides the most interactive and immersive experience possible. It is self-directed, self-correcting, and contains audio. CLICK HERE to try it for yourself! You won't believe how engaging this format is until you try it!

• Google Format - Students complete the exercises in Google Slides using the Robot Decoder Tool (Google Sheets) that self-corrects and tells each student when they can continue to the next challenge.

• Printable Format - Students can use any device to scan QR codes to watch the videos. If no device is available, students can skip the videos and still enjoy the exercise. Students use a printable Robot Decoder Tool and answer sheet to decipher the clues and track their answers.

⭐ Integrated videos, thematic items, and a robot back story come together to engage students while developing, enforcing, and reviewing 2nd grade addition and subtraction skills.

The Webscape and Google Slides versions are self-grading; however, they are designed to require critical thinking. Students are NOT told which answers are incorrect to prevent guessing and encourage students to think critically about the clues and their responses.

*Please note: The Google Slides format includes embedded videos that are hosted via YouTube. The printable version includes QR codes for these videos. If you plan to use Google or printable formats, please ensure that you and your students have access to YouTube. The Webscape version does not require YouTube.
