Area, Perimeter and Volume Digital Math Escape Room
Area, Perimeter and Volume Digital Math Escape Room
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.
This was a great resource for reviewing area, perimeter, and volume! My students were engaged and it helped to reinforce important math skills. — Rebecca V.
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.
To add the digital escape room to your Google Drive: please open the PDF and click the button on page 3.
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.

This math center activity was a hit with my 5th graders! It provided the perfect mix of challenge and engagement as students practiced. The directions were clear, materials were well-organized, and the activity encouraged great math discussions and teamwork.
Great resource and was great for Multi Lingual learners.
A really great use of student time and thinking - I had them complete it in teams. The self-checking aspect was helpful for those who tend to rush.
Engaging activity but students found it challenging!
Wonderful way to review area, perimeter, and volume. This was so much fun!!!
