Description
An engaging math escape room for celebrating Pi Day with your middle and high school math students! In this activity, students work with the circle formulas and the formulas for volume of spheres and cylinders to unlock 5 locks. Questions are grouped 4 per puzzle, resulting in five 4-letter codes that will unlock all 5 locks. Each puzzle also includes a fun fact about pi.
Example questions:
- Find the diameter, given circumference of a sphere,
- Find radius, given area of a circle,
- Find diameter, given circumference of a cylinder.
Students are asked to find the area and circumference of circles, the volume of spheres, the volume of cylinders, and the values of variables within the formulas. Some questions ask students to recall their understanding of literal equations by solving for specific variables in the formulas.
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.
To add the digital escape room to your Google Drive: please open the PDF and click the button on page 3.
A printable PDF version has also been added to the file. Students can work in groups, each group starting at a different puzzle. Once done, students check the NEXT STEP box for which puzzle to visit next.
