What a great time we had with our Break Out activity!  The story was "Football Frenzy" and the students had to solve football word problems to figure out the 3 combinations for the locks and find the key for the key lock to break in to the prize box.  Everyone had to work together to solve the puzzles before the timer ran out.  It was wonderful to see the collaboration in evidence and the excitement on the students' faces as each lock came off the box. 

Below are some photos of our fun:

This proved to be the hardest puzzle to solve.  Students had to figure out the word problems and then use a decoder to get the final combination. 

These girls are working on an online puzzle that gave clues to where the key was hidden.

The students tested out different combinations until they found the right one.  

Everyone waited with baited breath as the last lock was removed.
