Maths Escape Room (Online)

Get your students a device and set them free on this GCSE Maths ‘escape room’ (which actually has multiple rooms).

There are 7 levels, each level has a puzzle and a challenge. The puzzle is not particularly Maths related; the challenges are. This escape room is based around Number (future ones planned around other key areas…), topics covered in the challenges are:

• Times tables
• Long multiplication/division & checking answers
• Definitions (crossword)
• Equivalent fractions
• Percentage of amount
• Adding & Subtracting with negatives
• Currency conversion

There is also a ‘bonus’ at the end which allows a student to catch up if they forgot to write down some key elements whilst moving through the game, this has another 7 Maths questions.

Questions are all pitched around GCSE foundation level.

I hope students (and maybe teachers) will find this fun, it would be a good light-hearted revision lesson or end of term lesson. I imagine most classes will take around an hour completing the game. If they finish early, they could be encouraged to think about designing their own.

There is a ‘login’ on slide 1 which allows teachers to jump to the different levels in one-click with the password.
