This was perfect to use on Halloween, the students were engaged on a day it's difficult to keep their attention.

So glad to hear it was a hit on Halloween! Thanks for the awesome feedback!

Great maths practice

Students loved the challenges and having a few halloween type pictures on the pages made the children feel like they were doing a halloween activity rather than a maths activity. Well done!

The students had a blast doing this escape room! They were motivated and challenged. We found one error in the third task that kept students from completing it, but once we corrected it, they were able to continue. We will definitely be using this again next year!

That's so lovely to hear, thank you so much Bryna!
