Frozen: A Digital Escape Breakout Area of Quadrilaterals & Triangles & Volume

Description

It has been a wonderful spring break vacation! I visited the Arctic Tundra and saw amazing glaciers and animals. But today something strange has happened. I woke up in the middle of literally no where! No family, no friends and no signs of civilization! How did I get here? I start walking south, because I know it will only get colder if I go north. The sky is getting dark and I can see a cave. May be I can seek shelter there for the night. I approach the cave cautiously and feel immediate relief from the cold. I look around the cave and to my surprise I find a hibernating bear!!!! Oh man! I want to scream but know I can’t. On the other side of the cave I see a hatch. It says “In case of emergency unlock this hatch.” That is super strange but I am in no position to doubt it, I have to unlock the hatch as quietly as possible and as fast as possible! I have to get to work!!!

 

This digital escape is intended for reinforcing finding the area of quadrilaterals and triangles, while also reinforcing volume of rectangular prisms. This download contains all that is needed to perform an amazing digital breakout in your classroom!

 

In this Escape Room-like game, students will interact with a website to find clues and decode puzzles to unlock digital locks to BREAKOUT!

What is a Digital Escape?

An escape or breakout is a scavenger hunt-like game where players use teamwork and critical thinking to solve a series of challenging puzzles in order to open a locked box. Breakouts or escapes can be done digitally using a Google Form. THIS ESCAPE IS DIGITAL ONLY, NO BOXES OR LOCKS NEEDED!
