September — Escape Room
What happens when you give kids a problem without giving them a recipe for solving it? They start thinking like problem solvers. In Math Missions: Problem Solving Lab, students tackle messy, open-ended challenges where there may be more than one right answer—and more than one way to get there. They’ll investigate clues, spot patterns, test ideas, make predictions, encounter dead ends, revise their thinking, and defend their decisions.
This isn't about racing to the answer or following a worksheet full of steps. It's about learning what to do when you don't know what to do next. Each multi-day investigation combines math, logic, creativity, and real-world decision-making in a new challenge—from cracking an escape-room mystery to designing a theme park or solving a seemingly impossible problem. Students won't just learn how to find answers—they'll learn how to figure things out.
