This is a virtual escape room created with Google forms.  There are 6 locks with multiple problems to solve that directly coordinate with the lessons from Module 8 of our textbook.  I have also included a printable paper copy of the questions so that students can keep up with their answers as they go through the locks.  Once they finally “escape”, they will write down the secret code and share it with their teacher.  There is an answer key included. I used this as a fun review before the Module test.

Skills covered in this escape room include:

• Multiplying a 2-digit number by a multiple of 10
• Estimating multiplication with rounding
• Estimating multiplication with front-end estimation
• Estimation multiplication with compatible numbers
• Multiplying 2-digit numbers using the area model
• Multiplying 2-digit numbers using partial products (sometimes called the expanded algorithm)
• Multiplying 2-digit numbers using the regrouping method (standard algorithm)
• Multi-step multiplication problems using 2-digit multiplication and another operation

**This escape room was made specifically to go along with the Into Math 4th grade Module 8 textbook.  Most problems could be considered universal to common core, but the partial product method is in a different order than most people have seen before.  It makes sense when related to the area model because we multiply the partial products in the same order we would if they were in the area.
