One Thursday afternoon recently the year 6 classes joined together to participate in an ‘escape room challenge’ in groups. This challenge was a fun maths task where we worked together in groups to solve a variety of maths problems. It was important that all the group members worked together on each task as many problems could be solved in different ways and needed us to cooperate to work through the problem as quickly as possible. Once we solved a problem we added this answer to our Google form which then we would get the next problem solving task. You could hear each group getting excited as they solved a problem and were given the next part of the puzzle. Some of the problems involved using the four processes as well different parts of measurement.

Overall, it was really fun to participate in this ‘escape room challenge’  and we look forward to doing another one soon.
