Solve 6 maths problems linked to the National Curriculum to find 6 clues. Use the digits to escape the room!
You can use this as a standalone maths activity but I use this in a physical way.
Put each clue up in a different area (school hall, classroom or outside space) and get pairs/ groups of children to visit each station to gather their clues. They do not need to be solved in chronological order.
Once they have the final 6 digits they have one more puzzle to solve to enter them in the right order. Visit the teacher/ adult in charge once they think they have to correct combination!
Areas covered are:
*fractions *volume *long multiplication & division *algebra * coordinates * ratio
This resource is very similar to the Year 5 version but has a slightly more difficult fraction and calculation activity suitable for the Year 6 curriculum.

Solve 6 maths challenges to find 6 clues in this Easter themed maths activity.
I use this with 4 actual baskets. The winning basket has easter eggs in for the class, which they get if the majority of the class can solve the clues.
For ease, put children into groups so that they can work together as a team to solve all of the problems.
The challenges cover adding in 4, 8 and 50; subtracting pairs of 3 digit numbers; calculating the perimeter; finding the fraction of a set of objects; matching digital to anaolgue times and finding missing numbers in times-table and division problems.
