Digital Patterning and Algebra Escape Room (no decimals included) - Now the fun begins. After your students have learned, practiced, completed a check-in for feedback, they are ready to fully apply their new skill.

Join in on the fad of using Digital Interactive Classrooms to engage your students (during distance learning, in-class math center or full class engagement activity) with this digital escape room - Patterning style!

Motivate your student to work on their understanding of numbers, by adding in an escape room into your mix of daily activities. Your students will love using this interactive Google Slides deck and Google Form to find clues within the “Kindergarten Room” to unlock Math problems to solve.

Included in this file: 

• Teacher instructions for sending your students this resource and for inserting a digital avatar (if you wish)
• Google Slides Digital Interactive Classroom which includes 51 slides (title page, student friendly instructions, 8 classroom clue slides with links to the 8 “you’ve got it” slides with answers to insert into the Google Slides lock and 8 “try again” slides, with internal links to bring students back to the clue they are working on. 1 “congrats” slide to celebrate the escape and 24 slides to make the answers less visible)
• Google Form file with 18 sections (title page, 8 classroom clue locks given in slides, 8 Patterning and Algebra problems to solve, “congrats” section)

Great for:

• Fun end of unit activity
• Formative assessment
• Math centers
• End of the year review
• Test prep
• Distance learning activities
• Asynchronous learning activities (for snow days, supply days, planning times, etc.)
• Enrichment activity
• and more!

3) Differentiated Choice or Check-In activity:

Once students feel confident, they are able to choose between one of three levels of pattern questions to solve. One set for each of the two lesson sets (patterning and patterning with decimals):

1. I am still learning, but I will try
2. I’ve got this
3. I'm here for a challenge.

Each problem set comes with an answer key for your own and/or student use and can be completed either digitally or printed.

Problem solving question: Lastly, students will apply their understanding of their new skills in order to solve a problem solving equation.
