Description
This 4th grade end of year math review turns May and June practice into a set of short escape room tasks. Students solve 24 puzzles while they keep Dr. Lumen’s unusual laboratory running. Each challenge reviews grade-level math and asks students to use logic, codes, or careful reasoning.
Flexible 4th grade math test prep
Most tasks take 5 to 15 minutes. Therefore, teachers can use one puzzle each day for morning work or spiral review. You can also choose tasks for math centers, small groups, early finishers, or test preparation.
Need a longer lesson? Combine several challenges into a review session. You may also print the full set as a 4th grade math review packet. In addition, the activities work at the start of fifth grade or for summer skill practice.
Inside Dr. Lumen’s Lab
Students unlock doors, crack passwords, and operate strange machines. The story connects the tasks without taking attention away from the math. Because the puzzles stand alone, you can assign them in any order.
The varied format gives students repeated practice without repeating the same routine. Some tasks focus on multi-step problems. Others use ciphers, visual models, or logic clues. As a result, students must read closely and check their thinking.

Classroom ideas
Start class with one puzzle and discuss the strategy afterward. Alternatively, place several tasks at stations for partner work. The tracking log helps students record progress when you spread the set across several weeks.
This end of year math escape room supports focused review during a busy season. Students revisit important fourth-grade skills, yet each day offers a different problem to solve. The result is a practical option for May morning work, June review, and 4th grade math test prep.
