Subjects: math

Grades: 4,5,6

Description: See a video preview of the full activity via Youtube here: https://youtu.be/f2l_xIb0UuM There are 10 potential tasks to complete; minimum 2 required to escape the room. Key Vocabulary and Concepts: *odd vs. even numbers *prime vs. composite numbers *factor trees & prime factorization *ordering numbers from least to greatest *long multiplication *Note: there is light exposure to exponent language (ie. squared, cubed) however, the help button on these two cards provides an explanation on how solve the problem without prior knowledge of exponents. (HELP buttons do review these key terms and concepts for those who need a small refresher/reteach, but students missing too much conceptual knowledge may become frustrated if attempting this activity independently. Please watch the linked preview video above, and chat via the Feedback feature prior to purchase if you have questions) *students must have reading proficiency to for clues & task directions; some cards have audio narration, but not all! CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.OA.B.4 -- Gain familiarity with factors and multiples. Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.EE.A.1 Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
