Fall Festival Frenzy
Place Value Escape Room
The sun is golden over the Maple Hill Fall Festival. Mr. Okafor, the festival director, has a big problem. The prize ribbons are locked in a box in the prize tent! Seven festival locks keep the box shut. You are the festival helpers. Solve the math at each stand to open the locks. Get the ribbons out before the sunset parade begins!
