Find a Lost Civilisation With Our Volume Escape Room! 

Engage your students with The Lost Civilisation, an interactive volume escape room that makes learning hands-on and exciting! As they navigate through four challenges, students will find the volume of rectangular prisms, uncover hidden artifacts, and crack the codes needed to ‘escape.’ They’ll also apply their problem-solving skills to determine missing side lengths when given the total volume. Make volume calculations an adventure with this engaging, self-checking escape room!

This volume escape room resource includes:

  • ‘The Lost Civilisation’ digital escape room (Google Slides format)
  • ‘The Lost Civilisation’ digital escape room (PowerPoint format)
  • Student notebook (Google Slides format)
  • Student notebook (PDF format)
  • Answer keys

Our volume escape room is a great lesson for the whole class, guided groups, or as a fast finisher or maths station activity.

Playing Our Problem Solving Volume Game

This problem solving volume game is minimal preparation and maximum fun! Here’s how to quickly ready this resource to get your students learning:

  1. Download the escape room and matching student notebook in the formats of your choice.
  2. Make a copy of the student notebook for each student, and have them cut and assemble the pages in order.
  3. Ensure that all participating students have access to the digital escape room, whether the activity is on display to the whole class or to each individual group.
  4. Students should put the escape room in ‘Slideshow’ mode and follow the instructions on the slides and in their notebooks.
  5. Once students have completed all the work and found all the codes, they can consult you or the answer key to see if they have escaped!
