Description
This 5th grade fraction operations escape room bundle includes four print and digital math missions. Each spy-themed activity targets an important fraction standard. Students practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions while solving purposeful puzzles.
The printable versions come in color and black and white. Use each complete mission for collaborative review. You can also separate the puzzles for task cards, math stations, small groups, or exit tickets.
The digital versions are no prep and self-checking. Each escape room runs through Google Forms™, so there are no clues to hide. Students do not need Google Classroom™ or email accounts. They only need an internet-connected device.
