Description
The Gingerbread Man has locked your class inside the bakery! Your 6th graders must solve five challenging puzzles involving exponents, decimal operations, and order of operations to escape.
This winter digital escape room is automated and self-checking in Google Forms. There are no clues to hide, and students do not need email addresses or Google accounts. The gingerbread theme does not mention a specific winter holiday.

Small groups of two to four are recommended because several puzzles are more complex than typical worksheet problems. Most students finish in under 45 minutes, although allowing up to 60 minutes is safest. Use it before winter break, for enrichment, homeschool lessons, tutoring, or cooperative review.
Students do not need to search the web. Please confirm that your school or district permits Google Forms.
