Order of Operations Digital Math Escape Room
Order of Operations Digital Math Escape Room
An engaging math escape room game for simplifying expressions using the order of operations. Students must unlock 5 locks through simplifying 20 expressions using addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponents (2nd power only). Questions are grouped 4 per puzzle, resulting in five 4-letter codes that will unlock all 5 locks.
My class loved this resource! They were very engaged in the Escape Room and have been asking to complete another since. Thank you! — Brittany L.
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.

It was perfect no prep review activity for sub plans! Thank you!
Great way for students to interact with this content! Provided feedback and allowed them to edit their work with ease.
Whilst I love these challenges, my sixth grade students found this one particularly hard — even the extension maths group struggled with the level of complexity. A guide or hint page would have been a huge support for them. In the end, we adapted the activity by giving students the answers and turning the challenge into identifying whether addition, subtraction, division, or multiplication had been used. This still allowed them to work through the thinking process, just with a more accessible entry point for everyone.
students love escape rooms and how much it challenges them.
This resource was absolutely amazing for my 12:1:1 special ed math class. The kids were able to successfully accomplish the math skill objectives and had fun too!
