Goal

Using Breakout EDU kits, I would like to turn my classroom into an academically-focused escape room to transform students into engaged critical thinkers! They will use teamwork and inquiry to solve a series of challenges that naturally produces motivation and the ability to problem solve. 

 

What will be done with my students

In teams, students will be presented with puzzles or mystery to decipher, each clue leading to another, and ultimately to the locked strongbox.

Example Breakout "Math Rocks:"
Problem Set 1- This is the beginning of your Breakout math game. The clock started as soon as you opened the envelope. Below are the first set of puzzles. Now that you solved the problems, ask your teacher to reveal the key that cracks the code for the directional lock on the first box! Write the code on the spaces below.

Problem Set 2- Solve the problems found at these locations. Be sure to keep track of your answers. You will need them! Now use the answers to solve the problem below, then use the answer as the combination to open the black lock box. Problem 1 answer + problem 2 answer + problem 3 answer =

Problem Set 3- Congratulations! Now that you have opened the lock box, inside you will find a UV flashlight. Here are your next instructions to figure out the next set of clues...There are 5 QR codes scattered around the room. Using the class iPad, open the QR Reader app and scan each code. Write down what you find. Now unscramble the phrases to figure out your next clue!
