Pythagorean Theorem 8th Grade Geometry Digital Math Escape Room

An engaging math escape room to review the Pythagorean Theorem. Students must unlock 5 locks by solving for missing hypotenuse lengths and leg lengths. The 20 questions are grouped 4 per puzzle, resulting in five 4-letter codes that will unlock all 5 locks. Some puzzles also ask students to find areas of rectangles and triangles to bring in prior knowledge.

My students absolutely loved this activity! Such a great resource to get them using the computers (which they love) and practicing the Pythagorean Theorem. — Sierra M.

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.
