Back to School Picture Puzzles Digital Math Escape Room Activity

An engaging back to school math escape room for solving mystery picture equations, perfect for the first day of school. Students use their logic and algebraic thinking to unlock 5 locks by finding the values of school-themed pictures in equations.

Questions are grouped 4 per puzzle, resulting in five 4-letter codes that will unlock all 5 locks. All answers are positive whole numbers.

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 and a printable graphic organizer to help students keep track of the pictures' values as they find them.

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 is also included in 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 escape room is also on TPT, if you prefer shopping there.
