Description
The referee is missing, and your 4th graders must use long division to save the game! Students solve division puzzles, decode clues, and find a locker combination as they complete Operation: Retrieve the Ref.
This digital escape room is automated and self-checking in Google Forms. There are no clues to hide, and students do not need Google accounts. The activity supports 4.NBT.B.6 and provides an engaging alternative to a traditional long-division worksheet.
