Description
A prized pumpkin has disappeared, and your 4th graders must use place value and rounding to solve the Great Pumpkin Heist! This Halloween or fall digital escape room turns essential base-ten skills into a collaborative mystery rather than another worksheet.
The activity is delivered through Google Forms, making it no prep and self-checking. Students work through the case, enter their answers, and receive immediate feedback as they progress. No student accounts are required, although your school or district must allow access to Google Forms.
Place value and rounding skills students will practice
- Comparing multi-digit whole numbers
- Reading and comparing numbers in standard, expanded, and word form
- Identifying the value of a digit in a multi-digit number
- Explaining how a digit’s value changes when multiplied or divided by 10
- Rounding to the nearest ten
- Rounding to the nearest hundred
- Rounding to the nearest thousand
- Applying place-value reasoning in multi-step challenges
The skills support standards 4.NBT.A.1, 4.NBT.A.2, and 4.NBT.A.3. The activity works well for Halloween or fall review, enrichment, math centers, early finishers, or a team-building lesson.
