Middle School Pi Day Digital Math Escape Room
Middle School Pi Day Digital Math Escape Room
An engaging math escape room for celebrating Pi Day in your middle school math classroom! In this activity, students work with the circle formulas to unlock 5 locks. Questions are grouped 4 per puzzle, resulting in five 4-letter codes that will unlock all 5 locks. Each puzzle also includes a fun fact about pi.
Students are asked to find either the area or the circumference of a circle, given diameter or radius in a word problem. Some of the problems use spheres or cylinders as context, but all questions ask for either area or circumference only.
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.

I thought this assignment worked really well for my 6th grade students. I always try to have an assignment for pi day but was scrambling for something for a grade level that I had never taught before. This resource worked out perfectly. Students were able to work through this effectively and all instructions were clear and concise on my end. Overall I would recommend.
This resource is easy to use and keeps students engaged. It encourages participation, supports key skills, and makes learning more enjoyable. A great addition to any classroom!
Such a great resource! Thank you for sharing! Will be using again next year.
I've been using educational resources from TPT for several years now, and I can't say enough about the quality and variety available. Whether I'm looking for engaging math centers, ELA task cards, science experiments, or seasonal activities, I always find exactly what I need—and more! The materials are creative, standards-aligned, and easy to implement, saving me countless hours of prep time.
What I love most is that they're made by real educators who understand the classroom. The visuals are professional, the instructions are clear, and the activities are genuinely fun for students. TPT has become my go-to platform for supplemental resources, enrichment ideas, and differentiated instruction.
Highly recommended for any teacher who wants to enhance their lessons and bring fresh ideas into the classroom!
My birthday is Pi Day! I loved exploring this with my accelerated students!
