Solving 1-Step Equations Digital Math Escape Room

An engaging math escape room for solving 1-step equations. Students must unlock 5 locks by solving 20 equations requiring just one step to solve. Questions are grouped 4 per puzzle, resulting in five 4-letter codes that will unlock all 5 locks. The variable may be on the right or left of each equation.

A fun, engaging way to practice one-step equations! Students were highly engaged, collaborated effectively, and gained confidence in solving equations. Easy to use and perfect for any classroom setting. — Olivia S.

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.
