St Patrick's Day Digital Math Quest GAME. Your students will have fun playing 'Over the Rainbow" in a digital game format. This resource is designed to be played on any device with an Internet connection (please read the technical tips section and try the free link below to see if it works for you).

Adventure meets an escape room with this style of game. Your students will need to discover passwords at the end of each chapter in order to access the next part of the quest story. Your Teacher copy will contain all links and passwords.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Implementation Suggestion: Turn it into a competition to see who can complete the quest first in your classroom OR set a timer with a limit that everyone must aim to beat to finish the adventure (or a single chapter if you prefer to break it up into smaller chunks).

• Cannot chapter jump, completion of each chapter unlocks access to the next clue.
• Ending victory video

What you will need:

• A stable Internet connection
• The digital links provided in this pack.
• Computer access – this can be used on any device with an internet connection and browser e.g. PCs, Macs, IWB, and tablet devices.
• Optional: print the tracking and recording page provided in this download. However, this is easily substituted with a workbook or plain piece of paper if you prefer to skip printing or photocopying this page.
• Options for sharing include: hyperlinked PDF, Google Slides, QR Codes, and direct copy and paste URLs.

Implementation suggestions

There are many ways to use this resource, some include:

• Complete as a whole class on your Interactive Whiteboard. Students take it in turns to answer the questions.
• Assign to your students to complete independently or in pairs on a device. This could be something they do as an early finisher task, during your math block, or for homework.

Sharing with Students

There are a few ways you may choose to share the game with your students:

• The student pages with clickable links are available in EASEL by TPT. When opening Easel, choose which math level you want to keep (top corner marked L1, L2, and L3 for math levels) and delete the other level pages before assigning the game to your students.
• Assign the Google Slide link provided via Google Classroom
• Email the game links to your students.
• Use the QR codes provided for students to scan. These can be printed or shown on the IWB for students to scan from.
• Do as a class on the IWB with your access to the links only.
• If all of the above fails, or if you need help, you can send an email to me and we can try to resolve the issue.

After completing a clue, students will be given a password to unlock the next chapter link.
