Because of the sudden, widespread need for digital math activities, I updated many of my printable math materials to also include digital versions. You can see those here. I have also recently been creating some digital-only math activities to work in Google Slides and Google Forms. One of the newest activity types I've been making in Google Forms are these digital math escape rooms.
I have been getting some great feedback on these new digital math escape rooms:
How do these digital math escape rooms work?
Each digital math escape room has been built in Google Forms with no outside links. Everything is housed within the Google Form. This way you can collect student data and never worry that a link will be blocked or broken.
Each escape room consists of 5 puzzles. In each puzzle there are 4 questions to answer. Once students answer the 4 questions, they find their answers in the answer choices grid. This will generate a 4-letter code. Entering that code into the answer box on the Form will unlock the lock. There are 5 locks to unlock in each escape room activity.
You can see all of the digital math escape rooms I have made so far here:
I am making more each week. If there is a topic you need, I am happy to make it for you (and send it to you for free as a thank you for your suggestion). My email is shana@scaffoldedmath.com or you can leave a comment here.
Important note: If your students do not have Google logins, but you do have access to your own Google Drive at school, you can still use these digital math escape rooms (or any Google Form). Students do not need to log into Google to complete a Google Form. As long as you can house it on your own Google Drive, you can send it as an assignment for students to complete without the need for student Google accounts.

How to send Google Forms to students
I would love to have an escape room for all the factoring methods: GCF, grouping, a=1, a>1, special cases (perfect square trinomials, difference of two squares).
ReplyDeleteYou got it! I will get this on my list. Can you please send me an email so I can send it to you when done? shana@scaffoldedmath.com
DeleteMe, too! Would be SO helpful!
DeleteYou got it!
DeleteThat would be amazing!
DeleteI would love to see one with exponents, and one with logs. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Inna! Can you please send me an email? I will send them to you when done as a thank you for your suggestion. shana@scaffoldedmath.com
DeleteIs it possible you have one with 2nd grade addition and subtraction with regrouping. The students can master it without regrouping but get confused when they need to regroup.
ReplyDeleteHi Cassandra, I'd love to chat about this. I'd like to make sure to get the problem types and format right for kids that young. My email is shana@scaffoldedmath.com
DeleteI'd love to see a digital breakout room that uses the properties of quadrilaterals-parallelograms, square, rectangle, rhombus, kite, trapezoid
ReplyDeleteHi DeeCee, thank you for your comment. My email address is shana@scaffoldedmath.com if you'd like to send me an email about this. I will think about how to frame the questions to ask students about quadrilaterals.
DeleteI'm thinking about making a digital escape room involving the main algebraic skills my geometry students will need second semester: Solving linear equations, solving systems of linear equations, solving proportions, and solving quadratic equations using square roots. If YOU made one instead, I'm sure I'd purchase it!
ReplyDeleteI will give this one some thought! If you'd like it when it's done, my email is shana@scaffoldedmath.com. I like to send them via email as a thank you for the topic idea.
DeleteI love these!! Is it possible to have one for solving exponential & logarithmic equations?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing!!!
Hi Ale! Thank you for asking. I will get this on my list! Please send me an email so that I can send you the activity when it is done. shana@scaffoldedmath.com
