What educators are saying

My students had so much fun with this activity. I used it right before holiday break to keep them interested.
The escape room activity provided an unforgettable experience for my students. It's a brilliant way to test their problem-solving skills, teamwork, and lateral thinking in a thrilling and dynamic way.

Description

In this latitude and longitude geography escape room activity, students examine a variety of maps to understand latitude and longitude as they race to beat the clock! Can you crack the code before time expires?

Students are placed in investigative teams as they analyze twelve clues using longitude and latitude coordinates, then analyze six different map sets to find the correct set of information, all before engaging with math analysis to solve each clue. Not only does this Crack the Code Escape Room challenge reinforce the workings of latitude and longitude, but also provides an excellent cross-curricular opportunity with mathematics.


A teacher instruction page, scenario page, key, maps, clue sheets, and a 60-minute timer are included to display as student teams try to break the code!

Guaranteed to excite and engage your classroom!
Leave your students asking for more (like mine do)!


Don't have a box or a lock? No worries -- simple workaround ideas are included that keep students focused!

Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, create a story context for (2/3) ÷ (3/4) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient; use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (2/3) ÷ (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general, (𝘢/𝘣) ÷ (𝘤/𝘥) = 𝘢𝘥/𝘣𝘤.) How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 3/4-cup servings are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt? How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi?
Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.
Describe situations in which opposite quantities combine to make 0. For example, a hydrogen atom has 0 charge because its two constituents are oppositely charged.
Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.
Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 3² × (3⁻⁵) = (3⁻³) = 1/3³ = 1/27.
