It doesn’t matter how many times we do a BreakoutEDU in our math classroom – the students still love it! I love the engagement and the excitement as they solve the problems. To access the “Escape the Dungeon!” Breakout EDU Digital, click HERE. Most of the BreakoutEDU requires students to answer problems on Google Forms but they do have to find the forms and/or break into the forms to solve the problems. In this BreakoutEDU, I have used the following digital tools and resources: Use their knowledge of area to solve word problems based on real-life scenarios.Calculate the area of combined and shaded figures.Calculate the area of rectangles, triangles, circles, and trapezoids.Next year, I will probably go back and adjust the names to include the name of my new students to continue increasing student engagement. They love hearing that they and their friends are a part of the story. In this story, King Ethan’s kingdom has been taken over by the evil Queen Delilah – can you save break King Ethan out of the dungeon and save the kingdom?Īs you can see, this creates some great conversation between the students. Usually, that means that I will put their names into the story to create a greater interest in seeing what happens to the characters. When I create a BreakoutEDU Digital, I try to create a story that my students will find entertaining. So, last weekend I told myself I would sit down and build a new BreakoutEDU on reviewing area of shapes.Įnter…The “ Escape the Dungeon!” BreakoutEDU Digital! The only drawback is that it takes me a few hours to make and the last couple of months have been very busy. The students enjoy it, their engagement is at an all-time high, and they are able to review and practice material from class. Before you begin thinking that I don’t like BreakoutEDU Digitals, I have to tell you – I absolutely LOVE using BreakoutEDU Digital in our math classroom. A couple of weeks ago, my students were asking when we would have another BreakoutEDU Digital in our math classroom since the last one we had done was in early February.
