Kiln: Multiples & LCM Escape Room – GCSE Maths
Printable maths escape room for GCSE Foundation: teams race to open locks on multiples, LCM and order of operations. 7 sets, worked answers, score sheet.
Mr Mudge’s kiln is loaded, programmed and counting down, and the only way to stop it is maths.
A printable group-race escape room for GCSE Foundation and KS3. Teams race to open three locks (multiples, LCM, order of operations), then crack a final padlock: combine their three answers using + − × ÷ to hit a target number. No calculators.
In the pack (35 pages, A4, prints in black and white):
• 7 lettered sets (A–G), each with different numbers, so the team next to you can’t copy
• Teacher run sheet and read-aloud scripts for the start, a winning team and time running out
• Score sheet: tick each lock as it opens and record wrong answers and hints. You set the time penalties.
• Answer key with every answer worked through, plus the common wrong answers to look out for
• Hint cards and a winners’ certificate
About 15 minutes of maths, plus however long it takes your class to stop arguing about who had the right answer. Works with a cover teacher: everything you need is in the pack.
The online version of this room is free on MaffsGames, if you’d rather play it on screens.
