Location and Transformation Activity to Engage Your Students

In this engaging escape room, students explore location and transformation with this fun and engaging story set up…

“Oh no! Something strange has happened at the Transformation Train Station—clocks are spinning backward, tiles are shifting, and the station master is missing! To escape, solve the puzzles involving geometric transformations and uncover the exit code. Complete all the tasks before time runs out to catch the last train!”

Students are guided through a series of activities where they will need to show their understanding of the three different transformations:

• Translation
• Reflection
• Rotation 

They’ll then end up with a code at the end that will allow them escape from the Transformation Train Station!
