Math 2 Escape Room

Difficulty: Moderate · Length: 35–50 minutes

A Math 2–themed escape room set across five classrooms: Shop, Engineering, Health, Business, and Theatre. Students interpret slopes from graphs and tables, analyze a drone’s parabolic flight path, model viral growth, solve a system of equations for prices, and use the Pythagorean Theorem backstage. Each puzzle reveals part of a hidden quadratic equation, which they must reconstruct and solve to “reboot” the Math Core.
