Area, Perimeter and Volume Digital Math Escape Room Activity

An engaging 5th grade math escape room to review area, perimeter and volume. Students find the area and perimeter of rectangles and irregular shapes comprised of rectangles, and the volumes of right rectangular prisms.

 

Questions cover:

• Find the area and perimeter of rectangles, 
• Find the area and perimeter of irregular shapes (all made from rectangles), 
• Find the volumes of right rectangular prisms 

 

In the irregular shapes questions, most lengths are given. Students will need to find some missing lengths in these puzzles to answer the perimeter questions.

 

Students must unlock 5 locks through answering 20 area, perimeter and volume questions. Questions are grouped 4 per puzzle, resulting in five 4-letter codes that will unlock all 5 locks.

 

The entire activity is housed in one GOOGLE Form. There are no links to outside websites. The 4-letter codes are set with answer validation so that students cannot move to the next puzzle until they enter the correct code. Includes answer key.

A printable PDF version has also been added to the file. Students can work in groups, each group starting at a different puzzle. Once done, students check the NEXT STEP box for which puzzle to visit next.
