⭐ In this 5th grade multiplication fluency escape room, your fifth graders will practice multiplying with standard algorithm practice questions. This activity aligns to CCSS 5.NBT.B.5

⭐ Custom videos along the way tell the story, making this a truly immersive experience! Students complete challenges to conducting various experiments to evaluate and build a perfect team of monsters. To complete these four challenges: cuteness experiment, durability experiment, fear experiment, and appetite experiment, students work through four unique problem sets where they practice fluently multiplying multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm. Questions are scaffolded, progressing from multiplication, finding the mistake, and solving word problems. Students add their answers to the Monster Decoder Tool to help them unlock the secret codes and complete each challenge. This resource is a great engaging and low-prep activity with printable and digital versions included!

⭐ This math escape room comes in digital and print formats.

• Webscape™ Format – This web-based format provides the most interactive and immersive experience possible. It is self directed, self correcting, and contains audio. You can check out my video overview here. You won’t believe how engaging this format is until you try it!

• Google Format – Students complete the exercises in Google Slides. The Monster Decoder is a Google Sheet that self-corrects and tells each student when they can continue to the next challenge.

• Printable Format – Students can use any device to scan QR codes to watch the videos. If no device is available, students can skip the videos and still enjoy the exercise. Students use a printable Monster Decoder and answer sheet to decipher the clues and track their answers.

⭐ Integrated videos, thematic items, and a Monster Science Lab storyline come together to engage students while developing, enforcing, and reviewing mathematics skills.

*Please note: This does include embedded videos that are hosted via YouTube. Please ensure you and your students have access to YouTube.
