Escape Room Experience
The Escape Room Experience challenges attendees with a series of puzzles and riddles that
must be solved in order to escape. The goal? Escaping the room before time runs out. The
escape room experience helps students build essential collaboration and critical thinking skills.
Attendees can expect to work as a group to solve puzzles on Promethean’s immersive
classroom solutions, including the ActivPanel, ActivConnect and ClassFlow. The Promethean
Escape room is limited to 10 attendees per session. Please register here in advance.

Making the Most of Small Group Instruction
Use small group instruction to make math enjoyable to all students. Build your small group
environment and fill your teacher toolbox with hands-on activities, math games, projects, and
group discussion. Never teach math the same way again.
