This digital escape room bundle includes three operations with integers & rational numbers activities. Focusing on 7th grade math standards, students will add, subtract, multiply & divide negative and positive numbers to solve engaging puzzles while practicing and reviewing math skills. Escape rooms are a great way to encourage collaboration and active learning. The engaging storylines will draw students in as they add & subtract integers (and simple rational numbers) to save the submarine, multiply & divide with negative numbers to save a secret agent, and perform all four operations with integers to escape a haunted house - perfect to use for Halloween or any time!

These integer operations activities are no-prep, self-checking, and easy to implement. They are completely automated by a Google Form™. These activities can be completed by anyone with an internet-connected browser, no Google™ accounts 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™. There are supplemental printable pages to help students work out some of the puzzles, but these escape rooms are designed to be completed online.
