To prepare students for their future, they need to work together as a team and solve problems. This project will allow students to stretch their minds as they solve puzzles to find a code and break out of the challenge.
When the students enter the classroom, their bell work is a visual, thought provoking challenge that requires the students to interpret visual images and clues to find a solution and unlock the challenge. I have been using a two week trial version of BreakoutEDU with my students and the transformation has been amazing! The students come in excited and form teams to begin solving the daily puzzle. They work together and talk through their thought process.
Watching the students explain their rationale and then test their theory has been exciting. Using the SMARTBoard, the students are able to interact with the board and test their solution in real time. When they successfully solve a challenge, they are rewarded with confetti and a celebration! These daily puzzles are expanding their inquiry learning skills, reinforcing team building skills, and increasing excitement for learning that transfers from their bell work to their classroom assignments.
Purchasing a BreakoutEDU kit will allow us to continue using the digital challenges and create our own BreakoutEDU challenges. Please help us continue to expand our minds and grow as a collaborative team!
