Description
STEP 14 of Middle School Math Escape Step by Step, after Step 13 (Exponents). Also in the series bundle. A self-checking slope escape room for Grades 8-9. The ski resort is closing and 4 doors are locked! Find each slope, find it in the code key and earn a code letter. The classic slips (run over rise, a lost minus sign, subtracting in a different order, reading b instead of m) land on other letters. 27 cards, 20 scored. WHAT IT TEACHES Slope from a graph, slope from two points, slope from a table, rate of change in a story, m in y = mx + b (after rearranging), a missing coordinate, zero and undefined slope, parallel lines and steepness. HOW THE GAME WORKS - Each room opens with a learn card and a picture. - 16 clue cards: type the slope, or tap 1 of 3 answers. - 4 door cards: 4 slopes to find, then type the code. - Type slopes like 3, -2 or 2/3; decimals work too. SELF-CHECKING, WITH HELP WHEN STUCK - Boom scores every question; wrong answers show at once for a retry. - Two tap-to-show hints per question: a nudge, then the method. ACCURACY Every answer is checked by our own software and by AI test solves from the cards alone, without the answer key. It has not been tested with a class. No process is perfect; if you spot an error, please tell us through the store's feedback. HOW IT WAS MADE Text written with AI assistance and fact-checked. All images are drawn in code; no AI image generators were used. No sound. Plays in a browser; needs internet.
