Part of NCTCA 2026
Thursday 5 February 2026·7:45 pm

Watch your students' engagement and persistence with Math problems increase exponentially when they are framed in the context of an escape room. This one-hour session will place participants in small teams to race against the clock to solve a series of puzzles in order to "escape". Puzzles are grade 8 and 9 level, all supplies provided. Just a sense of humor and willingness to do Math is required. Tips and strategies for designing your own escape rooms will be discussed.
