Our Escape Room Challenge involves students working collaboratively through a series of clues that have been left within maths puzzles and challenges to find the identity of an unknown person!

To begin this incursion, students undergo ‘Maths Mindset Training’ to ensure they go into the Escape Room challenge with the mindset and learning dispositions of a true mathematician. This involves learning about the importance of a maths mindset, why mistakes need to be embraced and celebrated and how listening to, sharing and justifying their thinking to others strengthens their mathematical understandings.

Throughout the incursion, students will be exposed to a range of mathematical concepts that will require them to collaborate, think flexibly and make mathematical connections. The proficiencies of Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning are embedded within the challenges, allowing students to strengthen and deepen their mathematical knowledge and understandings. This incursion will re-engage students in mathematics in a positive, engaging and supportive learning environment, providing them with unique mathematical experiences that will compliment and enhance their everyday maths program.
