Measuring Capacity in an Exciting Math 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 liters and milliliters. 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!
