Math Breakout

I kind of love doing Breakout EDU activities in my classroom.  I say kind of because the kids love them and they are so fun to watch figure out all of the clues and puzzles, but they are A LOT of work to get ready.  My goal is to do one a month.  You can reuse breakouts from year to year, so I already have some made from last year. This is one of those:

Where have all the Polygons?  We just finished our chapter in math all about shapes so what better way to celebrate our first math test than to do a breakout activity.  The kiddos worked so well in groups that they created all on their own!

hmmm, this one was tricky

What do we do with all of these shapes?

What a great team!

The final puzzle said... WE BROKE OUT!!

They did an amazing job!  The 2nd Breakout activity of the year and they beat the timer again.  I believe they had 7 minutes remaining!!  Way to go first graders!
