Description
The town’s pumpkins have disappeared, and your 5th graders must use decimal place value and rounding to solve the Great Pumpkin Heist! Although the resource is pumpkin themed, it does not mention Halloween, so it works throughout the fall season.
This 5th grade digital escape room is delivered through Google Forms. It is no prep, automated, and self-checking, with no clues to hide. Students do not need email addresses or Google Classroom accounts.
