Measuring Capacity in an Exciting Maths Escape Room

Oh no ! The Queen’s feast of measurements is in chaos-flour spilled on the charts, and the pantry doors are locked! This escape room has been created by an experienced teacher to help students explore measuring and comparing capacity in litres and millilitres. Included in this download is a set of slides and a student workbook.  

Students are guided through a series of activities where they will need to show their understanding of comparing and measuring capacity. They’ll then end up with a code at the end that will allow them to unlock the pantry before the Queen arrives!

How to Prepare this Escape Room Phonics Activity

This resource doesn’t take long to prepare or implement at all – and once you’re done – you get to sit back and watch the magic happen!

To Prepare

  1. Display the slides one at a time through a projector or give students a link to the slide deck to work at their own pace.
  2. Print a workbook for each student or group of students.

To Implement

  1. Read the introduction to the class.
  2. Give each student or group their workbooks.
  3. Students work through the clues using the slides and their workbook to solve the different problems.
  4. Once the students have all four answers for the code, they will bring their workbook to you to verify their code.
