6th Grade Social Studies Beginning of the Year Escape Room: Back to School
By Colleen Burdette
Engaging Back to School Activity:
Students will be complete an engaging introduction to sixth grade Social Studies standards. They can work with a partner, a team, or by themselves to answer questions focused on four social studies topics: history, civics & government, geography, and economics. These questions will help students show their previous knowledge concerning 6th grade social studies. This activity is a more engaging than a pre-test.
Teachers can choose to have students check their work after they finish each challenge in order to earn parts of a puzzle. Completed puzzles could be turned in for prizes. There is also a completed prize card provided.
Students can work at their own pace as teachers have topic labels which can be displayed throughout the classroom to show students where to find their next challenge.
When the challenge is complete, students can complete follow up questions to review the Back to School, Beginning of the Year Escape Room. These could be used as written assignments or to lead class discussion.
Aligns with Indiana Social Studies Standards: 6.H.1, 6.H.5, 6.H.7, 6.H.11, 6.C.1, 6.C.2, 6.C.3, 6.C.4, 6.C.5, 6.G.1, 6.E.1, 6.E.2, 6.E.3.

Math Order of Operations Pixel Art Group Game
By Matemaths
Engage your students with this fun no-prep, and self-checking order of operations group game activity. Students will practice order of operations while playing a group game using Google Sheets. I used it as a sub-plan in eighth grade and the kids loved it. As they correctly answer the questions a mystery picture will be revealed.
How to play:
Player 1 starts by solving their first problem and typing the answer in the first box of their answer section. If the answer is correct, the box will turn green. If it is incorrect, the box will remain red and Player 2 will answer their first problem. Continue taking turns until one of the players completes the mystery picture and wins the game!
Student responses won’t be visible so if a player has the opportunity to answer a question that was previously answered incorrectly, they can’t see that answer.
It’s a great way to introduce additional problems for
· Back to School test review and prep
· Additional materials for remediation
· Lesson plan activity for substitute teachers
Three versions are included, ten questions each version:
- easy: no parentheses and no exponents;
- intermediate: with parentheses and exponents;
- challenging: with parentheses and exponents.
Solutions are included for your convenience.
Suitable for IB MYP Middle Years Programme.
